Design And Construction Of A Remote Fan Regulator Via Bluetooth With Android App

ABSTRACT

This work is on cost-effective wireless FAN control system through Android mobile using arduino microcontroller. This is designed using mobile technology will be beneficial to our society. The System is made to satisfy the needs of elderly and physically challenged people. There are many ways to control the app that may depend on many variables like electrical, mechanical or electronic. The most generic ones are direct and remote control which can be manual or automatic. Automated process gives more comfort for users, reduce risks and increase performance. In case of development of remote systems, the telecommunications, electronics and control concepts provides it possible to access and control any strategy, system or interface from a computer, mobile device with highly user friendly interface. Recent days the Smartphone and tablets are becoming powerful with new and useful characteristics. This is suitable to develop control systems. In this project, we introduce an Android OS based application for Smartphone that communicates with the fan through mobile device continuously to control the FAN speed. The Android platform plays a vital role to holds a maximum number of Users when compared to all other platform.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION

1.1                                           BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In now a day’s, development and changes of technologies is happens daily as well as continuous improvement of people’s living standards are increasing. The mobile phones are the inspirable part of human lives today.

In modern days the popularity of controlling electrical device through phone has been increasing due to high performance and reduce work by connecting through Smartphone which is useful for elderly and physically disabled people, who can access and control the Appliances by staying at some place and access them remotely without the help of others. This can increase the life quality of them. Wireless technology is emerging day by day, several different connections are introduced such as Bluetooth, WIFI, and GSM. Bluetooth with globally available frequencies of 2400Hz is able to provide connectivity up to100 meters a speedup to 3Mbps. Based on the microcontroller the data may send and receive between the mo- bile device and hardware is possible.

Not only this, it can control all micro components also. This communication between two devices by using Bluetooth is more reliable and securable.

1.2                                   PROBLEM STATEMENT

One of the purposes of technology is to make lives easier, but it was discovered that sometimes physically challenged in our home used to find it too difficult in operating some of our appliances such as electric fan because of the height of the regulator. It was for this reason that Bluetooth control fan regulator via mobile application was invented to solve this problem.

1.3                      AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main aim of this work is to build a device that will wirelessly control fan regulator via Bluetooth with android application. At the end of this study the device shall be build and the student involved shall be conversant with Bluetooth module and its operation and application

1.4                           APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

This device is:

1. 1. Useful for people who require much comfort and convenience.

1. 1. It facilitates the elderly and disabled individuals with much ease.

• • Can be used at our homes particularly halls, bedrooms, kitchen, apartments, hospitals, conference halls, restaurants, auditoriums.

1. 1. No need of searching a misplaced remote.

1.5                          SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

1. 1. It saves time, money, energy.

1. 1. Built in memory remembers last state of appliances

• • No need to change existing wiring

1. 1. No need for two way wiring

1. 1. Operate through IR remote control, Android Device as well as from main unit manually

1. 1. Easy to operate.

• • Easy to install.

• • Spark less switching.

1. 1. Shock proof.

1. 1. Self-maintenance

1. 1. Makes life easy.

1.6                                           LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

1. 1. More time consumption

1. 1. Cost effective

• • Interference problem

1. 1. Data connection required

1. 1. Less reliability

1.7                                                        METHODOLOGY

To achieve the aim and objectives of this work, the following are the steps involved:

1. 1. Study of the previous work on the project so as to improve it efficiency.

1. 1. Draw a block diagram.

• • Test for continuity of components and devices,

1. 1. Design and calculation for the device was carried out.

1. 1. Studying of various component used in circuit.

1. 1. Construction of the circuit was carried out.

• • Finally, the whole device was cased and final test was carried out.

1.8                                                         PROJECT ORGANISATION

The work is organized as follows: chapter one discuses the introductory part of the work, chapter two presents the literature review of the study, chapter three describes the methods applied, chapter four discusses the results of the work, chapter five summarizes the research outcomes and the recommendations.
