This [Arduino Home Automation Project][1] is designed using the arduino. The heart of Arduino Home Automation Project is to control the home appliances remotely using the ir remote control or using the tv remote control. For controlling the home appliances from the ir remote. First we need to understand [how to decode ir remote control signals using arduino][2] irremote library. Home appliances are connected to the relay. So in this Arduino Home Automation Project, we need some basic knowledge of [relay control using arduino][3] board.
