Android Operated Application Based Smart Eye for Home Automation System Using Open Source Android Application

` In recent years, the number of network enabled digital devices and services at homes has been increasing fast. With the rapid increase of the Internet, the owners have been requesting remote control and monitoring of these in-home appliances. This application leads to networking these appliances to form a kind of home automation system. In this paper, an Android based home automation system that allows multiple users to control the appliances by an Android application developed as well as using a web server is created. The system used has three hardware components: raspberry pi a local connected device to transfer signals to home appliances, a Web server to store customer records and support services to the other components, and a smart mobile phone smart device running Android application developed. Distributed cloud platforms systems and services of Google are used to support messaging between the components. The prototype implementation of the proposed system is evaluated based on the criteria considered after the requirement analysis for an adequate home automation system. The aim of this paper is to define the research of home automation systems using android application, to provide home automation system using android application operation also by creating a web server connected to ARM 7 board and Raspberry Pi 2.
