Introduction: Smart Home Automation With Android + Ethernet Internet + Arduino

About: Skills: Programming Language: HTML, CSS, PHP (Basic), Javascript (Basic). - Software and Development Tools: AppIventor (Android), Arduino IDE, Dreamweaver CS4, Photoshop CS6, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD, Corel Draw…

Home automation becomes more and more popular, affordable and fascinates people. Internet offers such possibilities as never before. Impress your friends showing on Smartphone that you can switch on/off lamp in your apartment miles away and simultaneously see it through a webcam, opening doors. Very cool!

Step 1: Materials

Smart Home Automation with Android + Ethernet Internet + Arduino

01 - Smartphone with Android 2.3+

01 - Wire Ethernet + Router (My Model is TP-Link (TL-WR740N)

01 - Arduino Mega 2560 ou Arduino Uno + Shield W5100 (Ethernet)

01 - Led IR (Optional)

// --------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: App Inventor (application That Control the Arduino Via the Internet)

First you need create an app android, in this case I use an app inventor 2 link: http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/

Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwsKzyEpgoE

(Tutorial: AppEthernet - App inventor 2 / Channel: Android e Arduino)

Download .aia to my project, if you need change this application to English, because I created in Portuguese

http://www.mediafire.com/download/pbcepmryegczdpb/SmartHouseApp.aia (Project .aia)

Download App to install in Android:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Sketch to Arduino Mega - Code Link Download

Download link in the end code:

You need change:

byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 0, 00 }; // IP the arduino

EthernetServer server(80); // Port acess

Obs:

01 - You need a version IDE 1.0.5 - the code does not work in IDE 1.0.6 because of IRremote library

02 - Every 4 seconds the page automatically updates, if you need change: client.println('<'MET A HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='4; URL=http://seudominio.no-ip.org/'>");

03 - In application "SmartHomeAPP" you need change to a URL=http://seudominio.no-ip.org/'

04 - Change the LED IR code to turn on or turn off your TV or Stereo

Lindo Download Sketch Arduino INO

How can you creating a http://seudominio.no-ip.org/

Step 4: Understanding the Code and Main Features

The methods "Get" send the variable for arduino, you can see in the piece of code:

if (c == '\n') {

if (readString.indexOf("lampada1") > 0) {

digitalWrite(lampada1,!digitalRead(lampada1)); }

//--------- send the page a variable "lampada1"

then the Arduino reads the full page and returns a method "Get" you can see in the piece of code:

//botao lampada1
if(digitalRead(lampada1)){ statusLed = "Ligada"; }

else { statusLed = "Desligada"; } client.println("

Lampada 1 - "+statusLed+"

");

//--------- in this piece you can see "+statusLed+", it returns to the relay this on or off on page
