1. INTRODUCTION
In the age of internet, IoT has proved useful for home
automation. Intelligent home appliancesimprovethequality
of life. Lots of research are pouring in to make self-
controlled, automated and energy efficient homes by
allowing users to control home appliances of varying kind.
In 2007, E. Yavuz et al. developed a PIC remote-controlled
system for controlling electrical gadgets.Thedisadvantageis
that an extra hardware is required to burn the code for PIC
microcontroller [1].
In 2010, S. M. Anamul Haque et al. proposed a system that
controls the home appliances using the personal computer
[2]. Appliances can either be controlled by timer or by voice
command. Bluetooth technology has been used in this
system which has limited range (maximum of 10 km) [3].
In 2015, K. Venkatesan et al. in their paper have
implemented Zigbee module inArduinomegathroughwhich
they control devices [4]. However, Zigbee and Bluetooth
used in this system have limited range and lessdata rateand
data. Moreover, Zigbee are costlier than ESP8266-01.
Around the same period Nathan David et al. presented a low
cost and flexible home control an environmentalmonitoring
system [5]. It employs an embedded micro web server in
Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, withIPconnectivityfor
accessing and controlling devices and appliances remotely.
These devices can be controlled through a web application
or via Bluetooth Android based smart phone app [6].
Bluetooth has a lower data rate and the range is limited.
They were mainly concerned about automation rather than
making the appliances secure.
In 2016, Shopan Dey et al. developed a system that used
Raspberry pi module to connect ESP8266-01 module to the
internet [7]. These systems are single admin controlled
systems.
In this work, we attempt to build a prototype of smart and
secured home automation system that make the home
appliances intelligent and ensures security by using various
kinds of sensors[8, 9]. Through our system, any home
appliances that are a part of internet can be controlled and
monitored by multiple remote users. Arduino Due controls
and acts upon the home appliances connected to it.
Everything is controlled by the Arduino micro controller.
Attached to Arduino DUE is the Wi-Fi module, ESP8266-01,
that receives data sent from smart phone over Wi-Fi.
ESP8266-01 network connectivity has a data rate of 1 to 11
mbps and range of 150 meters which is more than Zigbee
module which has less data rate 920 to 250 kbps) and are
more costly. Arduino DUE reads the data and decides the
switching action of home appliancesconnected to itthrough
Relays. The home appliances include fan, light, motor and
gas connection. These appliances are secured and made
energy efficient with the help of various sensors attached to
it. Temperature sensor connected to the system
automatically turns on the fan when temperaturereaches40
degree Fahrenheit. Motor will turn off when water level in
the tank is sensed by the water level sensor. Gas sensor
sensesgasleakage and the valuesare displayedthroughLCD
[10]. Hitachi HD44780 LCD is used to display the sensor
values and indicates variations. The home appliances
connected to the system can be switched ON/OFF using a
smart phone through Wi-Fi by any number of users
connected to the same network. The sensors attached to the
system make the home automation system more secure.
2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed home automation system consists Arduino
microcontroller, ESP8266-01, two double pole relays with
water level sensor, gas leakage sensor (MQ3), temperature
sensor (LM35) connected to fan, light, motor and LCD.

Figure 1 depicts the block diagram of the home automation
system.
Figure 1. Block diagram of the home automation system
Arduino due controls the entire system. ESP8266-01 is the
network connectivity device. LM35,MQ3,gasleakagesensor,
ESP8266-01 are connected asinput devicesintotheArduino
analog input pins. Fan, light, motor and LCD are output
devices which are connected to the output pins of Aarduino
due.
Temperature sensor continuously sensesthetemperaturein
the house and it passes the information to the controller.
When temperature becomes high (40 degree Fahrenheit or
more in this system) it is displayed in LCD and the fan
automatically turns on. The user can turn off the fan if they
do not require it.
MQ3 continuously senses gases like Butane, cabon
monoxide, lpgetc present in the surroundings and the
readings are passed to controlleranddisplayedthroughLCD.
If gas reading varies it will be notified through LCD by the
controller.
Water level sensor is connected to the tank and the motor is
connected to the relay. Water level sensor senses the water
level and the reading is passed continuously to controller.
When the water level becomes high it is displayed in LCD by
the controller and the motor connected to the relayisturned
off automatically. If the water level is low, the controller can
turns on the motor. The user through smart phone or PC can
remotely switch ON/OFF the motor too.
In the proposed model the temperature, , gas leakage and
water level in the house is controlled automatically without
user intervention. The system also allows the users to turn
OFF /ON fan, light and motor at the same time. The user can
also monitor the electric appliancesthrough the internet via
web server. When the user performsactions,theinformation
passed to the controller through ESP8266-01 and controller
takes actions on the basisof given informationandtherelays
corresponding to the device are turned on or off.
2.1 HARDWARE
ARDUINO DUE: Arduino Due board is one of most powerful
development boardsin ARDUINO series. This hasbeen used
in our work to control the entire system. This board has
AT91SAM3X8E Microcontroller with SAM3X8E processor
from Atmel. It has 12 analog inputs (ADC) and 12 bit high
resolution output, 4 serial communication port and 70
input/output pins along with 2 I2C bus and USB 2.0.
Hitachi's HD44780: This is a Character based LCDs of
Hitachi's HD44780 controller The LCD used is 2 Line with1
controller and support at most of 80 characters. They are
used as an output for reading the temperature andthestatus
of the system.
Relay: A relay is an electrically operated switch which turns
OFF/ON devices according toinstructionsfromArduinoDuo.
Two relays are used.
ESP8266-01: ESP8266-01 is a highly compact board which
we have used for Wi-Fi networking functions. In our system,
we have used the ESP8266 module as it performs on-board
processing and can be integrated with the sensors used.
Temperature sensor: A temperature sensor is a
thermocouple or a resistance temperature detector (RTD)
that gathersthe temperature from a specificsource.Wehave
used LM35 Temperature sensors. The LM series originated
with integrated circuits made by National Semiconductor.
This sensor generates a high output voltage than
thermocouples and may not need that the output voltage is
amplified. In this system, fan will automaticallyturnonwhen
temperature exceeds 40°F (value can be customized
according to the user desire). The sensor draws 60
microamps from its supply and acquires a low self-heating
capacity.
Water level sensor: Water level sensor hastwo conducting
plates. First plate is connected to the +5Volt supply through
series resistance of 10K ohm and second plate is connected
directly to the ground. The output will change in therangeof
0 – 5 Volt, in proportion with change in content of water in
the tank. When there is no water in contact, the sensor acts
as open circuit and 5V is obtained at the output.
Gas sensor (mq3): The Grove - GasSensor (MQ3) moduleis
useful for gas leakage detection. It is suitable for detecting
Alcohol, Butane, CH4, Hexane, LPG, CO. The sensitivity ofthe
sensor can be adjusted by using the potentiometer. When
gas sensor senses Arduino Due notifies user on Hitachi
HD44780 LCD.

Hitachi's HD44780: This is a Character based LCDs of Hitachi's HD44780 controller The LCD used is 2 Line with1 controller and support at most of 80 characters. They are used as an output for reading the temperature andthestatus of the system. Relay: A relay is an electrically operated switch which turns OFF/ON devices according toinstructionsfromArduinoDuo. Two relays are used. ESP8266-01: ESP8266-01 is a highly compact board which we have used for Wi-Fi networking functions. In our system, we have used the ESP8266 module as it performs on-board processing and can be integrated with the sensors used. Temperature sensor: A temperature sensor is a thermocouple or a resistance temperature detector (RTD) that gathersthe temperature from a specificsource.Wehave used LM35 Temperature sensors. The LM series originated with integrated circuits made by National Semiconductor. This sensor generates a high output voltage than thermocouples and may not need that the output voltage is amplified. In this system, fan will automaticallyturnonwhen temperature exceeds 40°F (value can be customized according to the user desire). The sensor draws 60 microamps from its supply and acquires a low self-heating capacity. Water level sensor: Water level sensor hastwo conducting plates. First plate is connected to the +5Volt supply through series resistance of 10K ohm and second plate is connected directly to the ground. The output will change in therangeof 0 – 5 Volt, in proportion with change in content of water in the tank. When there is no water in contact, the sensor acts as open circuit and 5V is obtained at the output. Gas sensor (mq3): The Grove - GasSensor (MQ3) moduleis useful for gas leakage detection. It is suitable for detecting Alcohol, Butane, CH4, Hexane, LPG, CO. The sensitivity ofthe sensor can be adjusted by using the potentiometer. When gas sensor senses Arduino Due notifies user on Hitachi HD44780 LCD.
