Description
Summary:PC-Based RFRemote Control System ForHome Automation is a Radio Frequency (RF) remote control system interfacing with personal computer for home automation; controlling home electrical appliances automatically using system software. User will gain control on the system software by specifying the appliances to be control and the time to activate the appliances. The microcontroller integrated on the remote c ontrol system will wirelessly manage the control of the appliances. The aim of the project is to produce a reliable system that offer an easy control and effective pc-based remote control system as one unit of advance home automation system. The objective of PCBased RFRemote Control System For Home Automation are to design and construct a PC-based RF remote control system that effectively control the home appliances wirelessly; to enable the control of the system via personal computer through serial communication interface; develop a system software for user to gain control on the home appliances and to design a system that user-friendly and reliable to real environment. Most of the available home automation systems are not pc-based; meaning theywill require an extrainstallation andthe control will be limited. The final dissertation presents the development of an advance home automation system which is an integration of RF remote control with the personal computer through serial communication interface. The system control the electrical appliances based on the control specified by users using system software. The main brain of the RF remote control system is the PIC16F84A microcontroller integrated onto the system. It manages all the control from the system software and enables a stable data transmission. Overall, the project is an improved system compared to the existing system and another innovative invention in the future.
