Project description
Introduction :
This project is about developing a smart home system. A smart home is a system that is set up in someoneโs house that alerts the homeowner if something is not right at their house or can allow a person to change something, such as temperature, in their house while they are away. Its design is for ease of access in oneโs home. Within this particular design, there are multiple radios that talk wirelessly back and forth to each other with help from an 8051 microcontroller and an Arduino board, which is then interfaced with a website and text messaging system.
Networking and Remote User Interface :
This subsystem is controlled by the Arduino microcontroller which was chosen to be used in conjunction with the 8051 microcontroller for its ability through peripherals to easily host a web server and provide cellular service. Using the Ethernet shield, which contains the Wiznet W5100 Ethernet chip, the Arduino can perform TCP/IP processes.
