Construction and implementation of an individual control home automation system using Raspberry pi micro controller and a GSM provide the automatic or semi-automatic control and monitoring of household appliances and residential house features like doors, gate and even the windows. This project is a demonstration of how to design and build a multipurpose remotely controlled system that can switch OFF and ON any electrical household appliance (including the security light), by dialing a phone already interfaced via relay module to a micro controller that controls a relay for the automatic switching on and off of the appliance and the phone will send a feedback short message service text indicating the new state of the appliance, whether switched ON or OFF. The results of this project show that a micro controller is a very powerful device for building smart electronic devices that can automatically control electrical appliances, with little circuitry complexities and components.
