TITLE : AN EMBEDDED GSM APPROACH TO CONTROL APPLIANCES WITH BACKUP SOLAR ENERGY
ABSTRACT: The nature of this thesis is to achieve many aims with accuracy of temp. for example energy saving. Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, and toys. This research work investigates the potential of ‘Full Home Control’, which is the aim of the Home Automation Systems in near future. The analysis and implementation of the home automation technology using Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) modem to control home appliances such as light, conditional system, and security system via Short Message Service (SMS) text messages is presented in this paper. The proposed research work is focused on functionality of the GSM protocol, which allows the user to control the target system away from residential using the frequency bandwidths. The solar cells that we see are also called photovoltaic (PV) cells, which as the name implies (photo meaning “light” and voltaic meaning “electricity”), convert sunlight directly into electricity. A module is a group of cells connected Electrically and packaged into a frame (more commonly known as a solar panel), which can then be grouped into larger solar arrays.
