Home Gate Operation Remotely By Android
Abstract
The project is designed to achieve control over the Home gate through Android Application by the person. Opening and closing of gate involves manpower, which could be often erroneous leading to wasting time. The proposed system rules out the need of any human involvement at the Home gate. This system involves opening and closing of the home gate with help of an Android Application Device.
Remote operation is achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screen operation. A Bluetooth device is interfaced with the system. When a person sent close command to the Android application device to the Bluetooth device which while fed to the microcontroller, send an output signal which activates mechanism to switch on the motor to close the gate. To open the gate, another command needs to be sent for the microcontroller to open the gate with help of motor driver IC. In this project we use a microcontroller of 8051 family, and the input to it is a Bluetooth device which receives command from the user Android application. The output to microcontroller is given to a motor through a motor driver IC for required operation. The status, whether the gate is open / close is displayed on an LCD display interfaced to the microcontroller.
Further the project can be enhanced by sending an acknowledgement to the sender about the status of the gate.
