Summary of Home Automation and Safety via GSM Remote
This article outlines a final year project demonstrating programmable home safety control via GSM modem. The student successfully presented the prototype, creating slides, posters, and test videos to show functionality. The system allows users to remotely switch four electrical loads (L1–L4) ON or OFF by sending specific SMS codes. The presenter achieved a top 20 ranking at BMI and concluded that while the project required significant effort due to limited references, it serves as a solid foundation for future improvements in home automation.
Parts used in the Programmable Control Home Safety via GSM Modem:
- GSM modem
- Microcontroller
- Electrical appliances (lights)
- Load 1 (L1)
- Load 2 (L2)
- Load 3 (L3)
- Load 4 (L4)
- Slideshow presentation material
- Poster
- Video support material
Objectives:
To test a level of understanding for my final year project.
To present about programmable control home safety via gsm modem; the performance or what have been achieved.
To improve myself, in term of knowledge, presentation and communication.
Content / Procedure:
Refer to FYP scheme, presentation degree semester 2 to prepare a material.
Discuss with supervisor, about how to tackle the question.
Done a more research about basic knowledge of GSM modem and program microcontroller.
Prepare a video as an supported material
Ensure the prototype in high good condition.
Result and Analysis:
I’m done a slideshow, poster and a few testing towards hydro prototype to ensure it work properly during presentation.
The presentation will be conducted by 2 referee.
My presentation considerably good and smooth.
The poster and pictures for presentation shown below:
Personally, i’m glad that i be able to complete my FYP project until achieved the goal because of some difficulty to find a reference and so on.Then i got top 20 in BMI.Alhamdulillah.
This project programmable control home safety via gsm modem takes more effort to make it with excellent.
This project can be develop into another level if the new candidate; who have an interest towards control the appliances in the house to spend an effort, time and money to make it more useful.

- How do you turn on equipment using the GSM Switch?
Send an SMS with the code '1111' followed by ON. - What is the method to switch off the equipment?
Send an SMS with the code '0000' followed by GSM Switch instructions. - Does the GSM Switch handle multiple loads?
Yes, it can send instructions for load 1, load 2, load 3, or load 4. - What status does the GSM Switch report after receiving commands?
The switch sends back the four load status as either ON or OFF. - How was the project performance verified during the presentation?
Several tests were conducted towards the hydro prototype to ensure it worked properly. - Who conducted the presentation for this project?
The presentation was conducted by two referees. - What ranking did the student achieve with this project?
The student secured a position in the top 20 at BMI. - Can this project be developed further?
Yes, it can be developed into another level if new candidates spend effort, time, and money to make it more useful.
