Abstract

A smart home refers to a convenient home setup where appliances and devices can be automatically controlled remotely using a mobile or other networked device.In this paper, the design of smart blinds is proposed - that will enable a house to become smarter and more energy-efficient. The proposed smart blinds are opened or closed with the push of a button on a wall-mounted touchscreen. The touchscreen is interfaced with a Raspberry Pi and it communicates with each Arduino devices – that are interfaced with each blind of the house - using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). A prototype of the touchscreen operated smart blind system is developed and tested successfully.
