Monitoring and Controlling of Devices Using GSM

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to design and develop a wireless

communication link to monitor and control equipments that are far away from the user. This project depicts the development of GSM-based control of home appliances for smart home system. The main aim of this project is to reduce electricity wastage.

INTRODUCTION:
The proposed system is based on ATMEL 89S52 microcontroller. The transmitter is a mobile phone which uses certain codes corresponding to a particular relay to which the device is connected. At the receiver, the GSM modem receives the message from the mobile phone and gives it to the microcontroller which acts to control the devices.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
At the transmitter side, the user sends an SMS to the GSM modem using AT commands indicating which device is to be controlled. AT commands are used to control MODEMs. AT is the abbreviation for Attention.

At the receiver side, microcontroller controls the devices through relays

depending on the code received by the GSM modem. A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.

POWER SUPPLY:
The microcontroller and other devices get power supply from AC to DC adapter through 7805 regulator.The adapter output voltage will be 12V DC nonregulated.This non-regulated will be converted to 5V regulated DC.

MICROCONTROLLER-AT89S52:
The AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system programmable Flash memory. It is a powerful microcontroller which provides a highly-flexible, cost effective solution to many embedded control applications. The code written is burned into the microcontroller chip using a universal programmer.

RELAY:
Relay is used in the circuit because it is an electrical operated switch that connected to the output. A relay in this system is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of AT89S52 microcontroller. The relay switch connections are usually labelled as Common (COM), Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO). The circuit is connected to COM and NO if it is switched to ON when relay coil in ON while to switch OFF the circuit connect the COM and NC together and then the relay coil is in OFF state. Therefore, the output is connected to COM and NO. As a result the relay contacts when it detect signal from the AT circuit.

PCB:
A printed circuit board or PCB is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways. Electronic component have wire leads, and the PCB has holes drilled for each wire of each component. The components' leads are then passed through the holes and soldered to the PCB trace.
