Abstract

Bluetooth is a radio frequency base technology for wireless communication. It is designed to

replace cable connections. Usually, it connects small devices like mobile phones, computer,
PDAs and TVs using a short-range wireless connection. It uses the 2.45 GHz frequency band.
The connection has the maximum range is 10 meters. The transfer rate of the data is 1Mbps (or a
maximum of 2Mbps).We used an Arduino Uno where we turn ON and OFF LED light using
Bluetooth commands. And we send that instruction using our Android Phone. In short, we will
control our LED using a phone via Bluetooth.

Keywords: Arduino Uno, Bluetooth Module, Relay Driver, Smart Home System, light control,
Automation System

Introduction In Arduino Uno, Rx and Tx are used for

Bluetooth module HC-05.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard
for exchanging data over short distances

 OFF up to eight LED. It means it can control
up to eight devices.
Results and Discussions
Download the android apps Arduino
Bluetooth from the Google play store which
is freely available. Install it to your phone.
After then open Bluetooth in our mobile
device and search for it.

By using the relay driver along with the

Arduino Uno and Bluetooth module we can
controlled eight home appliances at a time.

In Bluetooth list you will get HC-05, select

it and press in connect menu. After
connection you will get something like as
shown in picture below. Uses
Arduino Bluetooth Control Device
Application is to allow you to control
various electrical devices up to eight devices
and independently controlled.
Use Android Bluetooth mobile device to
remote control your device with Serial TTL
Bluetooth Module and Arduino Board.
It is used for Automation System, Smart
Home Automation, light control etc.

The program features.

1. It can Control up to 8 devices.
2.It Can be set Timer to ON / OFF the
When we press device 1 then the light
connected in Arduino Uno pin 2 is in ON device and show the countdown
state and again presses in same device 1 the timer.(Timer can be set to 1 minute, 15
LED light is in OFF state. It will ON and minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4
hours).

Conclusion
From this experiment, we conclude that the
Arduino Uno with the Bluetooth module and
relay driver works very well. It is easy to use
in our home as a smart home automation
system. It is very beneficial to the person
who is physically disable and also used for
aged person for controlling electrical
appliance remotely with the help of Android
mobile phone.
