Smart Automation By Using Zigbee and GSM

This paper includes automation of electrical devices based upon the presence of an occupant. The number of persons going in and out of a room or lab is counted using a counting mechanism. The network is created using Zigbee transceivers. In every room, a Zigbee transceiver known as an end device. The computer has a GUI interface for the users to control the devices and also to monitor the status of the devices. For providing remote access to the user a GSM modem interfaces with the central computer or PC. This paper shows the design and implementation of a novel low-power, low-cost and hand-held wireless device called a SensePod. Senseo pods can be used by a consumer to interact with a smart home or room using simple gestures like rubbing, taping or rolling the device on any home surface like a dining table. The device is smaller and forms an ad-hoc wireless network using the ZigBee protocol, and it can be easily interfaced to existing home management systems using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
