Vani K.S., Shrinidhi P.C. . Automatic Tap Control System in the Smart Home using Android and Arduino. International Journal of Computer Applications. 127, 8 ( October 2015), 19-23. DOI=10.5120/ijca2015906407
In this busy world everybody are interested in making their routine works automated and also want to monitor the elderly people and patients at home.

Helping the elderly and disabled people to control the taps for their daily activities is also a challenging job. This system is about Tap control control system using the smart phones and the arduino boards. This can be used to control the taps for plant watering and other taps in the home through internet by sitting anywhere in the world. Arduino 2560 board with Ethernet Shield is used in this project. Arduino is coded using arduino codes and the app development is done using Android programming.
