3. INTRODUCTION
 Today’s homes require sophistication control in
its different gadgets which are basically electronic
appliances.
Urassa Richard/C.Mwase 2

4. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Difficulties in monitoring and control of
home appliances remotely.
 Lack of access to know the status of the
home appliances.

5. OBJECTIVES, main
The main objective of this project
 Remotely access and control electrical appliances
such as lightings, fans e.t.c. using android based
Smartphone's such as Galaxy phones ,Htc,
Techno,Sony,Lenovo and others which uses
Android OS.

6. OBJECTIVES, specific
Specific objectives includes the following;
 Design and implementation of an android
application.
 Design and implementation of arduino Ethernet
server application software
 Design and implementation of an independent
power supply system
 Design and implementation of the switching
circuits for the electrical appliances

9. PROPOSED SYSTEMARCHITECTURE
 To successfully connect to the Home server,
the user has to configure the IP address and
the Port number of the micro Web-server in
the app.
 Any Android based Smart phone with built in
support for Wi-Fi can be used to access and
control the devices at home. When a Wi-Fi
connection is not available, mobile cellular
networks such as 3G or 4G can be used to
access the system.

10. WORK DONE SO FAR
 Literature review.
 Learning android programming, arduino
Ethernet server programming and circuit
designs
 Consulting supervisor on how to get static Ip
address that can be used with the micro web
server in the home gateway.

11. WORK TO BE DONE
 Continuing Learning android and micro-controller
programming.
 Designing and implementation of the android
application
 Designing and implementation of the switching
circuit and independent power supply
 Designing and implementation of the micro-web
server software
 Ordering of the hardware modules of the system.
 Testing functionalities of the android application
with the remote server.
