This work is regarding a student- designed project allowing users to be able to control multiple appliances remotely from a single mobile device. The project involves the use of Bluetooth communication and the Arduino Uno Rev 3 Microcontroller. The whole idea is to design an app on an Android cell phone using AC power. Although there are commercially available products on the market that implement the control of multiple applications with a single device, this project is a teaching point for students to build their own communication networks, creating Android apps, and practice electrical operation of circuits.
