Today we are living in 21st century where
automation is playing important role in human life. Home
automation allows us to control household appliances like
light, door, fan etc. Home automation not only refers to
reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time
saving. The main objective of home automation is to help
handicapped and old aged people which will enable them to
control home appliances and alert them in critical
situations. This paper put forwards the design of home
appliances control using Android ADK. The design is based
on a standalone embedded system board Android
ADK(Accessory Development Kit) at home. Home
appliances are connected to the ADK and communication is
established between the ADK and Android mobile device or
tablet. The home appliances are connected to the
input/output ports of the embedded system board and their
status is passed to the ADK. We would develop an
authentication to the system for authorized person to access
home appliances. The device with low cost and scalable to
less modification to the core is much important. It presents
the design and implementation of automation system that
can monitor and control home appliances.

This is a working project. Our prime objective is to assist
handicapped/old aged people. This paper gives basic idea
of how to control various home appliances and provide a
security using Android phone/tab. This project is based on
Android and Arduino platform both of which are
FOSS(Free Open Source Software). So the overall
implementation cost is very cheap and it is affordable by a
common person. Looking at the current scenario we have
chosen Android platform so that most of the people can
get benefit. The design consists of Android phone with
home automation application, Arduino Mega ADK. User
can interact with the android phone and send control
signal to the Arduino ADK which in turn will control
other embedded devices/sensors. We have discussed a
simple prototype in this paper but in future it can be
expanded to many other areas.
