ABSTRACT
Home automation is an emerging technology and also a need of
today. The main objectives of home automation are controlling of
home appliances in a comfortable, effective and secure way.
In this paper, we will utilize a different approach of
communication: Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming more
popular than Bluetooth when it comes to the Internet of Things or
having a centralized network, because it has a much greater
range than Bluetooth. This system is designed to provide the
users a more convenient and less time consuming way of using
appliances.

1. INTRODUCTION
Home automation is an electrical system that can be easily set up
in your home so you can take control of your appliances. First,
we connect the wi-fi module. Were going to use the CC3000
shield. This shield is a relatively new means of communication
for Arduino. Second, were going to install an older version of
Arduino to the computer. Also, we install Arduino library. Once
done, install the CC3000 library by Adafruit. Third, we connect
the Arduino to the computer using a USB cable and allow the
CC3000 to connect to the router. Fourth, we will connect relays
to the Arduino and create a program. We use relay because we
cannot simply connect an Arduino that can only output 2-5v to
the switch of the appliance in the house uses around 200-250v.
Fifth, we create a communication network through a smart
phone. Were going to use an application to do this. Lastly, well
upgrade our home automation system by controlling four
appliances. We will use 4-channel 5v Arduino-compatible relay
and connect it to a series extension socket. This study aims to
provide convenience for users, by just a tap on their mobile
phones they will be able to control their home appliances.
2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study addresses the needs of the user for a much more
convenient control over their appliances anywhere within their
homes.
3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
It aims to automate the process of switching your
appliances on or off with just a tap on your mobile
devices using Wi-Fi Arduino shield.
To accomplish a much more helpful device that shall be
useful in the automation of our devices to consume less
time and more convenience for the users.
To be able to control your appliances from anywhere
around the house is very helpful for the users.
