monitoring and control systems are very evident worldwide because of its convenience

nowadays. It is commonly used in homes, companies, and other establishments to have

an assurance when it comes to safety and security such as, Closed Circuit Television

(CCTV), smoke detector, alarm system and telecommunications, and many more that are

operated by computers based upon the program on it. One of the commonly known

computer-based programs is the remote controllers wherein you can conveniently operate

certain objects from a distant without bothering it to operate with actual physical

intervention.

This kind of technology is designed for an easy installment, less place to occupy,

and for easy maintenance though the range of its applications is not yet wide that much.

Further innovation is required in order to develop such device that serve as a key to

common problems at home. Monitoring systems are evolving into market nowadays, and

over the years technology has revolutionized our perspective of the world. Modern

Technology has made it possible for the discovery of many functional and utility devices,

and made our lives better. The revolutions that will surface in years to come will far

outweigh that has been experienced in the past. Technology brings potentials that will

continue to transform the way we live like never before. Fast development of technology

has brought out fascinating discoveries in the aspects of Robotics and Engineering.

 Most of the time, people cannot avoid to left the electrical loads unattended due to

negligence and difficulty in deactivating specified running electrical loads, specifically,

during rush hour. It attracts potential accidents such as fire that occasionally endangers

establishments and lives at all cost.

For these reasons stated, the researchers used the concept of wireless monitoring

and control system in order to create Electric Circuit Analyzer Monitoring and Control

System (ElCAMoCS), an innovative electric system device to control the device that will

efficiently and effectively benefit the users.

 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter represents the review of related literature and studies that are

included in this study. This also includes the definition of terms and the conceptual

framework of the study.

As per Nordin, (2010), House theft cases increases as years goes by, that leads

into aggressive and brutal way. Thieves use variety of ways including abduction to do

such thing, in response to their purpose. These cases have been one of the most serious

problems that happen in Malaysia. So the purpose of this project is to design and develop

a home security system that can provide security against intrusion and other emergency

situation by alarm via short message service (SMS) that serves as a wireless technology.

In addition to the house theft cases, today many people are facing difficulties to control

home appliances, especially for the elderly and disabled. Therefore, this project is

developed to control a home appliance that can be controlled remotely with hand phone

through SMS by the utilization of GSM module. Another objective of this project is to

produce the system that can inexpensive, user-friendly, small of size and easy to install.

As per Maharana, (2015), Many household devices operate with alternating

current. These devices are being switched by using switches or keys that are considered

as a component of the electric circuit. All home appliances have become a part of the

daily life of a normal human being. These devices are being driven by alternating current

supplied to every house from the energy station. Taking into consideration the different

advancement in the field of electronics and robotics we can develop a method for

5
operating all home appliances by using an android phone with the help of Bluetooth

Technology. The study, discusses about the means of using Bluetooth technology for

controlling any AC or DC machine by a single tap on the Android Phone, using it as a

remote control.

As per R. Anadan, et al. (2013), Security and automation is a prime concern in a

day-today life of an individual. The approach to home and industrial automation and

security system design is almost standardized nowadays. The study have tried to increase

these standards by combining new design techniques and developed a low cost home and

industrial automated security systems. Users want to be as much secure as possible. The

design of simple hardware circuit enables every user to use this wireless home security

system with PIR sensor, Gas sensor, Smoke sensor and Main fuse Failure Detector at

Home and Industries. The system is fully controlled by microcontroller. All the sensors

and detector are interconnected to microcontroller by using various types of interface

circuits. The microcontroller will continuously monitor all the sensors and if it senses any

security problem then the microcontroller will send the SMS to the user mobile through

GSM modem. The microcontroller also turns ON and OFF the electrical appliances in

home and industry based on SMS received from the user.

As per S. Maqbool and S.A. Lone, (2015), The study of this paper proposed a

method to make a base for the monitoring and Control of systems. The monitoring and

Control of systems could be from monitoring of movements in any particular area to the

monitoring of any external electrical, mechanical device. Taking the advantage of the

6
same the researchers developed the system for the monitoring and control system using

GSM technology. Also, the system is controlled which is needed in special circumstances

and is be implemented with the help of complete circuitry which is a different module

(DTMF) module has a specific code as input through GSM encoder that is processed by

decoder circuitry of our system. The goal is to find an improvement over the previous

surveillance systems. The maintainability of the new and improved is quite efficient as it

is easy to handle it by simple software demo. The facilities provided by it such as easy

handling, a secrecy support, an immediate action are granted. A prototype is built in the

windows platform using C# to demonstrate the functioning of the entire system.

As per R.G. Sarangle, et al. (2012), The system of energy billing is error prone

and also time and labor consuming. Errors get introduced at every stage of energy billing

like errors with electro mechanical meters, human errors while noting down the meter

reading, and errors while processing the paid bills and the due bills. The remedy for all

these problems GPMC (GSM based power meter and control system) is developed which

consist of the integration of a single phase Class 1, IEC61036, standard compliance

digital kWh power meter. It will keep track of the meter reading of each day and the

readings with the user identification number send it to user as well as to the electricity

department will keep the track of each SMS meter reading and the appropriate bill get

generated at the last day of the month and the bill is forwarded to the user from the

server. So there is no chance of confusion to the user for paying the bill. The GPMC also

feature distribution control system which controls the power of the appliances remotely.

7
Synthesis of the State of the Art

The review of related studies emphasized the use of Home Wireless Security

System by using GSM that enables to provide security against intrusion and other

emergency situation by alarm via short message service (SMS). The study GSM based

Wireless Home Appliances Control and Security System focused on developing and

designing a home security system that can control and monitor the device or appliances at

homes remotely with hand phone through SMS.

The researchers developed a System Technology, composed of both Hardware

and Software. That uses not just GSM module 800L but also Bluetooth technology and

Gizduino Microcontroller as a core tool of the device. The researchers designed a

wireless operated device that can be controlled via SMS and Bluetooth and relevant even

into distant places by certain commands. It also analyzes the Hardware, its off/on

appliance. It’s Safety and Security runs through the system, as it verify the registered user

in the device that is the only capable of access in the Wireless Electric Circuit Analyzer-

based Monitoring and Control System.

26
 RECOMMENDATIONS

The researchers recommend few things that can be utilized in conducting further

improvements/ developments in the study. The researchers recommend the future

researchers to undertake the same research.

It is very much commendable to have a provision for operation without a main

power supply such as solar panel and inverter. At a situation of blackout occurrence, it is

necessary to have a certain backup enable to sustain the power source and to have

continuous analyzing, monitoring, and control of the electric system device. The

researchers also recommend that is very important of having a consistent reception of

signal that happens to be a factor of having a proper monitoring and control of the device.

Furthermore, it is must to modify the program of the switch to make it functional. Lastly,

to prevent electrical fluctuation, it is a necessary to have a proper execution of electrical

wiring of the circuits.
