Home Automation using Zigbee
Abstract
We as humans have used technology to make almost everything faster, easier and safer to use than
ever before. While there have been extensive use of technology in industry and work place in
general, very little has been done towards home automation. Even the little work that has been
done towards home automation and home comfort has been mostly impractical.
This project proposes a very easily applicable and practically viable system for home automation that
can be implemented with very limited changes to the existing home setup. At the same time the
system will also be simple enough from users perspective and hence can also be used by any
ordinary individuals.
The project aims in the design of home automation using Zigbee module which can be operated
from home. The home appliance on receiving signal from the Zigbee module works according to the
received command.
The use of Zigbee has a lot of advantages. Zigbee is a wireless protocol similar and most advanced
than Bluetooth. Further the Zigbee operated with multiple systems can communicate at the same
time without any collision and hence increases greater operationality
The project can be used to control any external environment where in the person may like to control
all his surroundings such as fans, lights, TVs, etc; He may also like to open the door for someone or
close the water tap. All these can be done by using simple commands and the person has to just give
commands in the PC.

Existing System
1. In the Existing system, the devices should be switched on and off manually
2. No automatic systems exist for this requirement at this point in time.

Proposed System
1. Wireless communication is used, so that we can automate the device from a specific place.
2. Complete automation can be done without any movement
