Smart Gate Using Android Applications

Abstract

Abstract This paper is about the designing and developing an automatic gate system by implementation Android applications. This is a new improvement to the conventional technique. This project is focused on the development of smart gate prototype in order to improve the current automatic gate that used among the residential houses. The smart gate was controlled by using Android application on a smartphone that connected via a wireless connection. The wireless module ESP8266 was used to set up a server. An Arduino microcontroller was used as an interface between the input and output. The input is the user’s selection from the Android application while the output is the motion of the gate that generated by a DC motor. When the wireless module receiving the incoming signal from the smartphone, the microcontroller will read the signal and trigger the pin to turn on or turn off the DC motor. The ultrasonic sensor was used to detect any intruder that passes through the gate and trigger the buzzer. The limitation of this project is focused on smart gate prototype made of acrylic glass with the base size of 48 cm x 20 cm and a DC motor was used to open or close the gate
