BUILDING UP A SMART DOOR SOLUTION “CIT SMART DOOR” BASED ON BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY AND ANDROID MOBILE APPLICATION

Abstract

Nowadays the demand for automating mobile applications, especially intelligent control ones, has become more and more increasing. This paper presents a smart control system “CIT Smart Door” which is based on the Bluetooth wireless technology, Android mobile applications and a hardware prototype integrated into the door. The integrated hardware prototype system has been designed with PIC microcontrollers which focus on the capability of locking and unlocking the door. The smartphones run by the Android operating system can access the security system of the door via Bluetooth. This system has been designed to prevail over the existing smart home systems in the market and it is recommended to be used for maintaining the safety of the CIT Lab [1].
