Abstract

The primary purpose of scientific research in the world today is to facilitate life. This paper illustrates a proposed technique to develop such type of microcontroller (ATmega328p)-based secured device control system which will work through an app for Android mobile phones. The name of the intended application is given as “HACA-App” device which stands for “home appliances controlling application” device. At the outset, it would be necessary to pair with connections, i.e., mobile (cell) data/Bluetooth connectivity/Wi-Fi link, to activate this application. In this security system, pattern recognition, fingerprint, and face/image detection and recognition features are added to improve the system reliability. Nevertheless the program as well as the device would have a dual password security system. The application will be prepared for use after entering the password to monitor the ON/OFF load timing of household appliances. Without even using switches, the load could be managed by using this smartphone app. Moreover, this application system will be connected with the smart meter for the calculation of energy consumption through the household. The smart meter will be operated in the app through two different pathways; one for high-voltage appliances and another one for low-voltage appliances. An automatic switch will be introduced with scheduling for the household appliances. For completion of government smart city initiatives, this application can be used in every household of the city, and the total energy consumption can be calculated accurately for the whole city or district. The application intends to standardize human lives to stop the lack of energy use, making regular life more convenient for humans.
