Online Android-Based Light And Electric Fan Controller

Introduction

The innovation of modern technology is desirable in our society for developing better future. As technology cultivates, many electronic gadgets come up having different features that may satisfy the users. Mobile phone is one of the common electronic gadgets that people use as a medium of communication. There is also an innovation of certain electrical devices that truly useful to all people. In terms of electricity, it is very significant as one of the foundation of energy, the main source of power for utilizations. Therefore, the use of android mobile phone would facilitate in controlling the electrical devices like light bulb and electric fan not only at home and also in other facility that used this kind of electrical devices. Nowadays, people use mobile phone for interacting other people from long distance.

By the used of modern technology, mobile phones can also interrelate in other electrical devices. Most of the time people used to turn on the electrical devices for 24 hours per day and leaving the device turned on continuously, lead to energy waste. Thus this project is proposed to develop a system to facilitate the homeowner to optimize usage of electricity using android phone. Specifically Light bulb and electric fan to turn on/off using Arduino. Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
