Gesture Control of Home Appliances Using Flex Sensor

Abstract

This paper titled “Gesture control of home appliances using flex sensor” to control the home appliances is the easiest way. The main idea of this project is to help the bilateral amputee in other words people who lost their legs and also physically challenged people to control the home appliances by their hand and to reduce some problems that they are facing in day-to-day life. So, we have decided to help of physically challenged people to control their home appliances with gesture to detect their gesture with the help of flex sensor and to make the way easier to them for controlling the home appliance.Wireless communication and Sensors play a vital role in our project and for the wireless communication we used Bluetooth Module and Blend Sensor which is also known as flex sensor.  Let’s make it simple the sensor will give us resistance value based on the value we can predict the amount of deflectionis made by person accurately and dynamically, Arduino Nano is the microcontroller is used for processing the input from the user through sensor and Arduino UNO will get the data through the Bluetooth and process the data and find which appliances should be controlled. Based on the input from the user the Arduino which is preprogramed will decide which appliances that the user want to Turn ON or OFF through wirelessly.
