- In this article, we will make GSM based Homeautomation system in which we control total 8 no. of Devices and We can also check the status of our devices either it is ON or OFF.
- This project is useful for remote location where internet connectivity is not available.
- By using GSM Module we can control our home appliances by sending an SMS from anywhere in the world. and also we can check the real time status of appliances.
- For making of this project I have used GSM Module SIM900A & Arduino Nano.
- To make this project look professional and to use it in real-life, I designed the custom PCB for it.
Components Required.
For this project we need
1.GSM Module SIM900A.
2.Arduino Nano.
3.Female Header.
4.5v Relay.
5.1Kohm Resistor.
6.Terminal connecter.
7.BC547 NPN Transistor.
Designing the PCB.
To design the circuit and PCB, we used EasyEDA which is a browser based software to design PCBs.
Designing the circuit works like in any other circuit software tool, you place some components and you wire them together.
Then, you assign each component to a footprint.
Having the parts assigned, place each component. When you’re happy with the layout, make all the connections and route your PCB.
Save your project and export the Gerber files.
Ordering the PCBs at PCBWay.
This project is sponsored by PCBWay. PCBWay is a full feature Printed Circuit Board manufacturing service.
Turn your DIY breadboard circuits into professional PCBs – get 10 boards for approximately $5 + shipping (which will vary depending on your country).
Once you have your Gerber files, you can order the PCB. Follow the next steps.
1. Download the Gerber files – click here to download the .zip file.
2. Go to PCBWay website and open the PCB Instant Quote page.
3. PCBWay can grab all the PCB details and automatically fills them for you. Use the “Quick-order PCB (Autofill parameters)”.
4. Press the “+ Add Gerber file” button to upload the provided Gerber files.
And that’s it. You can also use the OnlineGerberViewer to check if your PCB is looking as it should.
Now select the shipping method , the one you prefer and has cost efficient.
You can increase your PCB order quantity and change the solder mask color. I’ve ordered the Black color.
Once you’re ready, you can order the PCBs by clicking “Save to Cart” and complete your order.
PCBWay has lots of other staggering solder mask, Now they can produce pink, orange, grey, even the transparent solder mask.
Apart from this they also provide Black core PCB.
After approximately one week using the DHL shipping method, I received the PCBs at my place.
As usual, everything comes well packed, and the PCBs are really high-quality.
The letters on the silkscreen are really well-printed and easy to read. Additionally, the solder sticks easily to the pads.

After doing this modification upload the code into your arduino nano board after selecting right board and COM Port.
Connect GSM Module to homeautomation PCB as shown in diagram below.
Connection for bulb.
Connect all of your homeappliances as shown in the schematic below.
Thank you so much for reading, Comment below if you have any query.
Sir,
I want to make project for study purpose in college ,so i want to do this project for submission in college please give me the circuit diagram for this project, so i think that you support for my submission project for study
Thank you sir.
Everything is available in the article.
Sir hear we can give signal from our mobile like on and off but I need signal from gsm like if light is on or off example if light is off or on I need that msg from gsm i,e light is on
yes you can make it. just by little bit modification in the code, you can checkout my video on this concept on my channel.
Plz provide solution sir it could be helpful for me a lot thankyou
There is clearly a bundle to realize about this. I think you made some good points in features also. Teddy Hyams
You have a solid capability for creating unique content. I find that I am in agreement with your thoughts. Thanks for writing this. Aaron Rolando
