In this project, we will learn how to make a Relay and SIM900 GSM/GPRS Modem based SMS Controlled Wireless Home Automation System with AVR ATmega16 Microcontroller. Here, we will control home appliances i.e 2 bulbs and 2 fans wirelessly using SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem and ATmega16 microcontroller. The home appliances are controlled by sending SMS to the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem of the Home Automation System and the change in status of the home appliances are displayed in a 16X2 alphanumeric LCD.

When the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem power is turned on, the ATmega16 microcontroller reads the initial status data sent by the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem through USART protocol. After reading the status data, the ATmega16 microcontroller processes the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem status data and displays the status of the modem and SIM in the alphanumeric LCD. If SIM card is not present, then "Plz Insert SIM" is displayed, if SIM card is present and modem is ready, then "SIM900 is Ready" is displayed and for other conditions, "SIM900 Error" is displayed in the alphanumeric LCD.

Now, when the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem is ready, the LCD displays "Send Ctrl SMS:" in 1st row and "All APPli. OFF  " in the 2nd row(As all the appliances are in off state initially). The Home Automation System waits for the control SMS to turn On/Off the home appliances. The control SMS are predefined sets of strings(Message of SMS). The predefined set of strings(Message of SMS) to control the home appliances are shown below:-

Control SMS Home Appliance Status
A1 ON Bulb 1 On
A1 OFF Bulb 1 Off
A12ON Bulb 2 On
A2 OFF Bulb 2 Off
A3 ON Fan 1 On
A3 OFF Fan 1 Off
A4 ON Fan 2 On
A4 OFF Fan 2 Off
ALL ON All Appliances On
ALL OFF All Appliances Off

When the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem receives any SMS, it sends new SMS notification to the ATmega16 microcontroller. The ATmega16 microcontroller reads the new SMS notification and displays "New Ctrl SMS" in the alphanumeric LCD. But if the ATmega16 microcontroller receives some other notification(other then SMS like Call and others), then "Unknown Error" is displayed in the  alphanumeric LCD.  After receiving new SMS notification, the ATmega16 microcontroller will read the SMS from the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem memory. If it reads the SMS successfully, then it will compare the content of the SMS with the predefined set of strings else it will display "Empty location" when the read memory location is empty and "Error" when there is error in reading the SMS. When the control SMS is read successfully, the ATmega16 microcontroller compares the message of the received control SMS with the predefined ones, if received control SMS matches with any of the predefined strings, then the microcontroller sends the required control signal to the Relay driver to turn On/Off the home appliance and it displays the new status of the home appliance in the alphanumeric LCD. But if the received control SMS does not matches with any of the predefined strings, then "Invalid SMS" is displayed in the alphanumeric LCD.

Now, send different SMS to the SIM900 GSM/GPRS modem of the Home Automation System and check the change in state of home appliances.
