Overview of Automation Systems and Home Appliances Control using PC and Microcontroller

In the fast growing world today it is necessary to control the home from remote locations. Every home is different, and just like you have to instruct your maid in the operation of your home, you have to instruct your PC in your personal preferences. Also, we know the importance of saving electricity, with the advancement of technology things are becoming simpler and easier for us. The main aim of the automation system is to on/off the device at the specified time by using desktop, which can be placed even in other room. The on/off system can be programmed well in advance and there is no need to perform the operation at that particular time. The proposed work has been done experimentally and responded successfully, which verifies the feasibility of this system's theory and concept. Automatic systems are being preferred over manual system. The main reason to develop this system is to save time and man power along with maintaining security and convenience.
