Make your Home Automation System -- AutoMate

so this is my first post ,here you will see how to make a cheap home automation system ,It has quite some uses ,But it totally depend on you how you want to use it.

So What it is and how it works and what are the requirement .
as said earlier it is the cheapest possible,home automation system controlled with your android mobile.
The microprocessor board is a clone of arduino, though not a perfect clone.
which communicates to android mobile via. bluetooth. There is also integration of DTMF module to support the long range communication with the board(Union of hardware components).

Requirements:
Bluetooth Module, i prefer HC-05.
Arduino,or its clone.
   follow this link to make your own.
DTMF Module
   follow this link to make your own.
Relay Module
    follow this link to make your own.

Once you got all of these just burn the arduino with following program :



Now make the connections as per the diagram.


Woooo..  , Your hardware is ready now grab android phone and install the contrller "AutoMate" ,link to download apk is given below.

 Now comes the testing part ,
connect hardware to 12 v dc power supply and goto the bluetooth setting of your phone and pair with bluetooth module ,if it is HC-05 default password will be 1234 and it is the same for many others too.
once you paired with bluetooth module goto AutoMate app and goto the paired bluetooth devices (the bluetooth icon in the action bar),and setup the connection with bluetooth module.
now see if the hardware is workin correctly ,if not see where you gone wrong ,it will be better to test each board individually.

now if everything is working correctly put it inside your switch-board,but here you will need to replace the two way switches with the three way switches in your switch-board,the purpose being that you can turn on/off your devices with both the application and manually,else if two way are used if device is on from any of them it will remain on till it is switched off with the same.
The diagram to make the three way connections is given below:

    

#Hey please be careful while doing with the switch-board,and turn  down the mains while you do with it.
