GSM Based Home Automation

Summary of GSM Based Home Automation


This article outlines a low-cost GSM-based home automation system enabling appliance control via SMS. The project utilizes an ATmega8 microcontroller paired with a SIM300/GSM modem to interpret commands like "(FNNN)" for switching devices and "(S)" for status checks. It includes circuit diagrams, PCB layouts, and programming files for assembly.

Parts used in the GSM Based Home Automation:

  • Atmega 8 Microcontroller
  • Relays
  • ULN2003
  • LM7805
  • BC548
  • 1K Ohm Resistors
  • GSM Modem (SIM300 or SIM900)
  • Buzzer
