Smart Home Using Matlab GUI

OVERVIEW:

The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and computer connectivity. Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Smart Home Using Matlab GUI Working Principle:

The microcontroller/processor is used to monitor and control the devices. An embedded c program is pre written into the microcontroller/processor which is programmed according to our need. The microcontroller/processor is then interfaced with the relays and the necessary water level sensors. Matlab will send a serial data to the microcontroller/processor via the serial interface.The microcontroller/processor replies if necessary and does the task assigned to it. The part of Matlab GUI is solely to provide user interface which when interrupted sends data to microcontroller/processor.

GSM INTERFACE

Visit http://researchdesignlab.com/gsm-sim-900.html to buy this product.

There are many different kinds of applications SMS applications in the market today, and many others are being developed. Applications in which SMS messaging can be utilized are virtually unlimited. Some common examples of these are given below:

• Person-to-person text messaging is the most commonly used SMS application, and it is what the SMS technology was originally designed for.
• Many content providers make use of SMS text messages to send information such as news, weather report, and financial data to their subscribers.
• SMS messages can carry binary data, and so SMS can be used as the transport medium of wireless downloads. Objects such as ringtones, wallpapers, pictures, and operator logos can be encoded in SMS messages.
• SMS is a very suitable technology for delivering alerts and notifications of important events.
• SMS messaging can be used as a marketing tool.

In general, there are two ways to send SMS messages from a computer / PC to a mobile phone:

1. Connect a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a computer / PC. Then use the computer / PC and AT commands to instruct the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to send SMS messages.
2. Connect the computer / PC to the SMS center (SMSC) or SMS gateway of a wireless carrier or SMS service provider. Then send SMS messages using a protocol / interface supported by the SMSC or SMS gateway

AT Commands

AT commands are instructions used to control a modem. AT is the abbreviation of ATtention. Every command line starts with "AT" or "at". That's why modem commands are called AT commands. There are two types of AT commands:

1.       Basic commands are AT commands that do not start with a "+". For example, D (Dial), A (Answer), H (Hook control), and O (Return to online data state) are the basic commands.

2.       Extended commands are AT commands that start with a "+". All GSM AT commands are extended commands. For example, +CMGS (Send SMS message), +CMGL (List SMS messages), and +CMGR (Read SMS messages) are extended commands.

The FORM DESIGN as show below, Here we using combo box for port selection  and textbox for entering mobile number to send sms,and message field to type message and send button.

The complete code as given below, Here we have to create two class 1)sms ,2)program

The class sms will set all pre-requirements in order to send sms,and port values and program class will load the forms and this will initiate the application.
