Design of Smart Home Control System Based on Android

This study aims to create a smart home control system design that can facilitate human activities while in the home such as turning on and off the lights, open and close the door of the house, garage the car, open and close the water faucet, monitor the state of the house through CCTV and keep the home security with Android smartphone as Remote and Microcontroller Arduino Uno as control system and using Wifi as communication media. The results of laboratory testing on home prototype using android smartphone can control home electronic devices (smart home) with maximum control distance up to 150 meters and media to monitor home state directly through CCTV up to 100 meters distance. The response time of the device for a distance of 1-50 meters 0.5 seconds and for a distance of 60-150 meters ranges from 1-3 seconds. Image quality testing delivered via IPCam monitored on CCTV with FPS (Frame per Second) for a distance of 140 meters with 15-25 FPS with good quality at 320×240p pixel with MJPEG format.
