Control of Home Appliances using Flex Sensor

SEEE DIGIBOOK ON ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 03, MAY 2021 PP.(55-59)
Abstract– This project titled “Control of Home Appliances Using Flex Sensor” to control appliances with your gesture. An Arduino board is used for controlling the relay through which an appliance is switched on/off. .In India 20-30 per cent of peoples were founded as Blind or bilateral amputee (people who lose their legs) and they faces the lot problems in their day-to-day life, so here we have an idea to help them to control the house appliances with their hands with the help of Flex Sensor which is also called as blend sensor – the sensor is struck to the surface of the finger which will detect the amount of deflection are made by the user and based on the deflection the resistance of that sensor is varied which means, whenever the user make any kind of moment by his/her finger is detected by the sensor and the resistance value gets changed. The control circuit consists of an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which processes the user commands and controls the switching of devices. The Bluetooth module plays a vital role in home automation using gesture recognition. Based on the resistance value we can control the appliance. By using Flex Sensor to detect the moment, ATmega168V –Arduino Lilly pad is used to measure the resistance value from sensor and it will decide which appliance is to be controlled based on the value of the resistance in the sensor and Bluetooth module is used to transmitting the signals from Arduino to the particular appliances to perform some operation in house.
Index Terms – Arduino UNO, Bluetooth module, ATmega168V, Flex Sensor, Home Automation.
