GSM-Enabled Home Automation and Security System with Real-Time Monitoring

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive home automation and security system that prioritizes both convenience and protection. By integrating GSM technology, various sensors, and a microcontroller-based control unit, the system enables remote monitoring and control of home appliances while providing real-time alerts for potential threats such as intruders, fire, and gas leaks. The system’s key features include intruder detection, fire and gas detection, remote appliance control, and automated lighting. These functionalities are achieved through a combination of hardware components and software algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in detecting and responding to simulated emergencies, highlighting its potential for enhancing home security and resident safety.
