Abstract: Security and Home Automation products keep you safe, manage energy consumption, and provide entertainment. The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and tablet connectivity. Home automation refers to the use of computer and information technology to control home appliances and features (such as windows or lighting). Systems can range from simple remote control of lighting through to complex computer/micro-controller based networks with varying degrees of intelligence and automation. Home automation is adopted for reasons of ease, security and energy efficiency. The brain of the proposed system is Atmega16 microcontroller. The microcontroller is integrated with various units such as automated light and fan control unit, password protected security unit and gas detection and alarming unit. The system communication is based on GSM (Global System Module). Initially the user can set a master password for the security system. The entire house is equipped with motion sensors and when the user is authenticated, the motion sensors are turned off automatically. An automated light and fan system is equipped so that after sensing the presence of individual in the room, light and fan will turn on accordingly. Gas sensors are used to detect gas leaks and alert the user through GSM.
