Home Automation is a way to have things around the home happen automatically. The aim of this paper is to develop a resident-friendly multifunctional home automation system using Arduino board. The proposed smart home shall have automatic control of LPG, automatic plant watering system and automated room light control. The paper deals with the development of an advanced technology gas sensor for detection, monitoring and controlling system for LPG leakage. DC motor is used to automatically control the gas regulator knob. The paper also describes the gardening system to cater the requirement of water to the plants. The paper further deals with automatic ON/ OFF of the lights of the house, with the help of a sensor that detects the entry and exit of the persons. The data output from the sensors is input to the Arduino board. The controller in turn triggers the signal to the concerned functional motor to operate. The operation of the relevant motor controls either regulator knob or waters the garden or switches on/off of lights depending on the particular sensor actuation. The proposed system can be further extended to include more functions as per the requirement.
