Abstract
Recently home security system has been very poor. These research projects consist of a
smartdoor locking system which provides a great solution to improve the home safety
management of doors. Arduino IDE software and a Bluetooth module hc-05 were used to
connect between the smartphone, the microcontroller and the door lock to give an easy access to
authorized persons. The person with the authority to open the door can have access within their
fingertips by installing the required application which has open/close button. The hc-05 serves as
a receiver and transmitter but also communicates with the microcontroller which serves as a
processing unit in this project and decides whether the password entered by the user is right or
wrong and then send the servo motor to either open or close the door. If the password is right the
user can have access to the door and when the password is wrong the user will have no access
whatsoever. Enhancing the safety and security of main entrance door.

Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Security has become a major concern in the twenty first century; everybody wants to feel safe at his
or her own home, workplace and a safe environment as a whole. Smartdoor security system using
Arduino and Bluetooth application is a project aimed at increasing and advancing the safety and
security of lives and property of the people. The project deals primarily with the protection of doors
and making it more secured within our houses, office or public related buildings. With the help of
smartdoor, when indoors or while you are away from your home and workplace, the doors are
protected primarily to grant access to only authorized persons using their smartphone and Bluetooth
application. With the advancement of technology smartphone has become a household requirement.
As of 2007 smartphones were not more than two percent of phone industries, but in 2009 the
smartphone world has taken more than fifty percent of phone market
(www.Wikipedia.com/androiddevelopers) With this it is quite logical to say that there is at least a
smartphone owner in every house. With this smartphone we can simply interface it with a arduino
(microcontroller) to keep our houses and offices safer and more secure with a single click to lock or
unlock the resulting door. The microcontroller will be mounted on the door which will then
communicate with the device through a Bluetooth module which will be connected to the
microcontroller. This project is aimed at making security better.
Issues of theft and burglary increases with high rate as such door security is a necessity, Door safety
is now of paramount importance which triggers the need for project such as ”smartdoor security
system” to provide a more safe and secure environment in generally.
In order to make sure that every door is safe people now look for counter measures to protect their
doors. With the vast and different forms of keeping doors locked from unauthorized persons many
people tend to use low means of protection. Meanwhile the deployment is of more advanced
technology like the use of smartdoor security is a step forward. This project aims to keep doors safe
and also ease access. The latching of the door is solely controlled by smartphone via the Bluetooth
connection established between the device and the microcontroller.
The aim of this project is to design and implement a smart door security system using arduino and
Bluetooth application that could help advance the protection of doors at home and public buildings.
• Designing of a smartphone application to control the movement of doors.
• Interfacing of arduino uno with the smartphone via Bluetooth module to establish a connection
between the arduino the smartphone.
• Controlling the position of a servo motor to open or close a door which I controlled and processed
due to the response of the microcontroller.

The project is about interacting with component and devices with the help of HC-05 (Bluetooth
module). The project is limited to performing the task of opening and closing of 3 doors precisely
main entrance doors of a building. It is not designed for the purpose of surveillance in a home or any
building nor is it a burglar alarm that alarms you in any case of perimeter bridging it’s only limited to
performing the task of opening and closing.
CHAPTER 2
2.1 Introduction
This chapter comprises of the literature review and theoretical background of the project. The
literature review deals basically with related project written by other researchers, the difficulties they
encountered, limitations and modifications that should be made. Theoretical background explains in
details some of the most important component used in the project.
Smartdoors have been implemented using different methods such as Radio frequency
identification (RFID) and Biometric lock to unlock and lock door. Both the RFID and biometric lock
are real ideal and smart ways to make a door smart, due to necessity and limitations such as cloning
of biometric prints or card. The use of Bluetooth and smartphone is much simpler and easier to adapt
and use. It gives you more access to communicate with the door and it also give access to physically
challenged persons that might not have a finger to use for biometric lock or is crippled to use RFID
but with respect to this project physically challenged can simply open their door by single click in
device. Adarsh V Patil et al (2008) did a similar project Android based smart door locking system
which also employed the use of android phone which is also a smartphone and also a GSM module to
access the door. Also Agbo David et al (2017) did a somewhat similar project based on door locking
system using android application. Shafarana A.R.F et al (2017) did android based automation and
security system for smart homes. There are many other 5 projects done on smartdoor in different
countries. They are all different from each other in terms of designs, features, devices, and algorithm.
They are mostly designed according to specific needs and availability of components in the
respective areas. Some of them are cheap; some of them are very expensive. Availability of both
hardware and software is necessary to work. After a long searching, I have found a lot of articles.
Searching for security purpose articles, also found some projects done for door security. These are
mainly done in western countries. Many projects are done only for security purpose With Arduino or
Raspberry Pi. Again, the projects are done only for controlling home Appliances using Arduino or
Raspberry Pi. Most of the previous researches encountered problems in their design especially in
terms of cloning by other third party and availability of components.
2.3 Justification
In general terms my project is a more user friendly project with easy access to users. People that
have problems physically like cripples or half paralysis can have access to doors without the help of
anybody not even an assistant, as long as they are in position of smartphone. The physically
challenged persons can open or lock any door they have permission to, or even lock or unlock a door
while sitting on their wheel chairs, resting sofas or sleeping bed.

Smart and door are two different words with different meanings. Advanced oxford dictionary
has given a clear and precise definition of both words smart meaning intelligent while a door is any
metal, glass, wood etc. that is opened and closed so that people can get in and out of a room,
building, car etc. by definition of smart and door smartdoor can easily be referred to as doors that can
be accessed easily without having to touch it physically. Smartdoors are intelligent doors that can be
controlled with any other external force to grant access in or out of the building, car etc.
2.4.2 Smartphone
The first smartphones, the IBM Simon and Nokia communicator 9000 were released way back
in 1994 and 1996 respectively, and integrated the features of a mobile phone and a personal digital
assistant (PDA) for managing calendars and contacts both were larger than regular phones. It wasn’t
until 2000 that first real smartphone, the Ericson r380, was released. It wasn’t any larger than a
regular phone, and in the early 2000s many other followed suit, with phones like blackberry and
palm achieving big success. In 2007, apple released iphone, which eschewed hardware buttons for
full touchscreen control and has since been the template of smartphone ever since. Phones used to be
all about making calls, but now your mobile phones have more application. The range of new
touchscreen smartphones allows you to access the internet, use social media, get live news or sport
updates, play music and video, and more. Smartphones can do so much more than just make phone
calls, many things can be done such as play games, access the internet and browse the web, make
video calls, navigate with GPS (global positioning system) send and receive emails, manage contacts
and make appointments, send and receive large files through Bluetooth or mobile hotspot. Below are
the examples of smartphones interface.

14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16
MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, and a reset button. It contains
computer using a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter. The Arduino circuit
acts as an interface between the software part and the hardware part of the project.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using
short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and
mobile devices and building personal area networks (PANs). The Bluetooth module being
used allows us to transmit and receive signals. It receives the text from the Android phone
and transmits it to the serial port of the Arduino Uno. The Bluetooth module being used
here is the HC‐ 05 module, shown below. It is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port
Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup. The Bluetooth
module HC-05 is a master/slave module. By default the factory setting is slave. The Role of
the module (Master or Slave) can be configured only by at commands. The slave modules

A servo motor is an electrical device that can be used to push or rotate an object with great
precision. If you want to rotate an object at some specific angle or distance, then servo
motor can be used easily for that purpose. Servo motor can rotate ninety degrees in both
directions. They can be used to move many equipment that require moving at any angle

• Controlled device
• Output sensor
• Feedback system
It is a closed loop system where it uses positive feedback system to control motion and final
position of the shaft. Here the device is controlled by a feedback signal generated by
comparing output signal and reference input signal. The reference input signal is compared
to reference output signal and the third signal is produced by feedback system. And signal
third signal acts as input signal to control device. This signal is present as long as feedback
signal is generated or there is difference between reference input signal and reference
desired value.
All motors have three wires coming out of them. Out of which two will be used for supply
(positive and negative) and one will be used for signal that is sent from the microcontroller.
Servo motor is controlled by PMW (pulse width modulation) which is provided by control
wires. There is a maximum pulse and a repetition rate. Servo motor can turn 90 degree from
either direction from its neutral position. The servo motor expects to see a pulse every 20
milliseconds (ms) and the length of the pulse will determine how the motor turns.

3.1 Introduction
This chapter explains in details the various stages involved in this research, the
stages are explaining in form of units such as input unit, receiver unit, processor unit and
output unit. According to the proposed system, I designed a system structure shown in the
block diagram in this chapter. The model was designed in such a way that it can be kept at a
safe place within. This is done in the easiest and lowest cost possible. However, the system
is flexible and can be customized for future enhancement. Changing one of the components
setup has to be compatible with the right software available. Every component used in this
system was Programmed and tested separately for safety measures and matching with the
right driver. Each component was programmed separately with Arduino UNO using
different Arduino IDE. Also they were run in different computers. Later on all were

This is the unit in which command is given to start the execution of a program and in this
project the smartphone is the devices that serves the purpose of sending command as input.
The mobile smartphone sends signal when connection is established between the device’s
Bluetooth and the Bluetooth module (HC-05). The smartphone sends the input command
through a developed application which has lock and unlock slider in the application which is
to say a person operating the smartphone can either send lock (which is close) or unlock
(which is to open) the respective door. The input command can only be executed when and
only when a Bluetooth connection is established between the device and the module and be
This unit deals primarily with the receiving of command signals sent from the
input. The command sent by the mobile smartphone is received in this unit with the help of
a Bluetooth module (HC-05). The module also serves as a link to establish connection
This unit is the brains and work of any project. This unit determines the output of the
project, it determines what command to execute, how to execute, when to execute and
where to execute it. The Arduino microcontroller serves the purpose of processing the
command of this project. The Arduino receives the command from the mobile smartphone
on what command to execute via the Bluetooth module and then the microcontroller
determines what function to perform and how to perform the particular task and give the
required output of the given task. The Arduino that serves as the main processing unit has
two units the hardware (which is the Arduino board) and the IDE (integrated
development environment) which comprises of software program that runs the whole
Smartphone Application
In this research I have an Android application to control all the home appliances. From Android
phone we select any home appliance from the options that appear in the App then we select
open or close. The user cannot run the App from outside the house unless within the Bluetooth
range related with the Bluetooth module. It allows establishing point-to-point connection with
Bluetooth support devices. This technology is known by Android support for the Bluetooth

This is the final stage of the methodology on receiving the command from the
microcontroller. The task to be performed could either be to open or close the door. Servo
motor is the device used in this unit to perform the task. When the servo motor receives the
command from the microcontroller to open it moves its position to ninety degrees which
moves up and opens the slider while when the command is to close the servo motor moves
to one hundred and eighty degrees which moves the slider to lock position which closed the
door in turn. All this action is performing and written in form of a computer code in the
Arduino integrated development environment and how the task will be performed.

3.5 Soldering
Soldering is the process of a making a sound electrical and mechanical joint between
certain metals by joining them with a soft solder. This is a low temperature melting point
alloy of lead and tin. The joint is heated to the correct temperature by soldering iron. For
most electronic work miniature mains powered soldering irons are used. These consist of a
handle onto which is mounted the heating element. On the end of the heating element is
what is known as the "bit", so called because it is the bit that heats the joint up.
Solder melts at around 190 degrees Centigrade, and the bit reaches a temperature of over
250 degrees Centigrade. This temperature is hot enough to inflict a nasty burn,
consequently care should be taken. Good soldering is a skill that is learnt by practice. The
most important point in soldering is that both parts of the joint to be made must be at the
same temperature. The solder will flow evenly and make a good electrical and mechanical
joint only if both parts of the joint are at an equal high temperature. Even though it appears
that there is a metal to metal contact in a joint to be made, very often there exists a film of
oxide on the surface that insulates the two parts. For this reason it is no good applying the
soldering iron tip to one half of the joint only and expecting this to heat the other half of the
joint as well.

4.0 Discussion
This project gives idea of how to control door locks. Carbon paper door lock system was used as a
prototype for indoor and outdoor key lock system. It also provide a security and easy for smartphone
users. This project based on smartphone and Arduino platform both of which are Free Open Source
Software. So the implementation rate is inexpensive and it is reasonable by a common person.
Accomplishment of wireless Bluetooth connection in microcontroller permits the system installation
in more easy way. The system has been successfully designed and prototyped to control the door
condition using smartphone Bluetooth-enabled phone and Bluetooth modules via Bluetooth HC-05.
A simple prototype is discussed for this research purpose.
CHAPTER 5
5.1 Summary
Based and RFID have been studied and developed. This research project is centered on
door locking system via smartphone controlled locking system with the help of arduino and
Bluetooth module.
5.2 Conclusion
The main aim of this paper is to design a smartdoor security system using Arduino and
Bluetooth application, so that people can feel safe about their home whether they are away
from home or are in the house. This project is based on Arduino, and the coding is done on
Arduino ide platform using the arduino application. At the end of this research the aim and
objectives of the project was achieved. People can now feel more secure about their doors
all the time. Doors can be controlled conveniently to those with access. Physically
challenged people can open or lock doors from their fingertips without asking help of
anybody. It is safe to say that the main objectives and the aim of the project were achieved
5.3 Recommendation
During this research some of the problems I came across were the inability of the door to
close automatically after been open for a while unless locked from the application. For
future research purpose I recommend other researchers to make a room to make the doors
lock automatically after a certain time delay. The door can only be accessed at a particular
distance for future research the distance can be put into consideration and made to be
longer.

1) Color/Grayscale Figures
Figures that are meant to appear in color, or shades of black/gray. Such figures may include
photographs,
illustrations, multicolor graphs, and flowcharts.
2) Line Art Figures
Figures that are composed of only black lines and shapes. These figures should have no
shades or half-tones of gray, only black and white.
3) Tables
Data charts which are typically black and white, but sometimes include color.
Multipart Figures
These are figures compiled of more than one sub-figure presented side-by-side or stacked. If a
multipart figure is made up of multiple figure types (one part is line art, and another is grayscale
or color), the figure should meet the stricter guidelines.
Format and save your graphics using a suitable graphics processing program that will allow you
to create the images as PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (.EPS), Tagged Image File
Format (.TIFF), Portable Document Format (.PDF), JPEG, or Portable Network Graphics
(.PNG). These programs can re-size them and adjust the resolution settings. If you created your
source files in one of the following programs you will be able to submit the graphics without
converting to a PS, EPS, TIFF, PDF, or PNG file: Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, or
Microsoft Excel. Though it is not required, it is strongly recommended that these files be saved
in PDF format rather than DOC, XLS, or PPT. Doing so will protect your figures from common
font and arrow stroke issues that occur when working on the files across multiple platforms.
When submitting your final files, your graphics should all be submitted individually in one of
these formats along with the manuscript.
Sizing of Graphics
Most charts, graphs, and tables are one column wide (3.5 inches / 88 mm / 21 picas) or page
wide (7.16 inches / 181 millimeters / 43 picas). The maximum depth a graphic can be is 8.5
inches (216 millimeters / 54 picas). When choosing the depth of a graphic, please allow space for
a caption. Figures can be sized between column and page widths if the author chooses, however,
it is recommended that figures not be sized less than column width unless when necessary.
The final printed size of author photographs is exactly
1 in wide by 1.25 in tall (25.4 mm x 31.75 mm / 6 picas x 7.5 picas). Author photos printed in
editorials measure 1.59 in wide by 2 in tall (40 mm x 50 mm / 9.5 picas x 12 picas).
Resolution
The proper resolution of your figures will depend on the type of figure it is as defined in the
“Types of Figures” section. Author photographs, color, and grayscale figures should be at least
300dpi. Line art, including tables should be a minimum of 600dpi.
Vector Art
In order to preserve the figures’ integrity across multiple computer platforms, we accept files in
the following formats: .EPS/.PDF/.PS. All fonts must be embedded or text converted to outlines
in order to achieve the best-quality results.
Color Space
The term “color space” refers to the entire sum of colors that can be represented within the said
medium. For our purposes, the three main color spaces are grayscale, RGB (red/green/blue), and
CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black). RGB is generally used with on-screen graphics, whereas
CMYK is used for printing purposes.
All color figures should be generated in RGB or CMYK color space. Grayscale images should
be submitted in grayscale color space. Line art may be provided in grayscale OR bitmap
colorspace. Note that “bitmap colorspace” and “bitmap file format” are not the same thing. When
bitmap color space is selected, .TIF/.TIFF/.PNG are the recommended file formats.
When preparing your graphics, IEEE suggests that you use one of the following Open Type
fonts: Times New Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Cambria, or Symbol. If you are supplying EPS, PS,
or PDF files, all fonts must be embedded. Some fonts may only be native to your operating
system; without the fonts embedded, parts of the graphic may be distorted or missing.
A safe option when finalizing your figures is to strip out the fonts before you save the files,
creating “outline” type. This converts fonts to artwork which will appear uniformly on any
screen.
When referencing your figures and tables within your article, use the abbreviation “Fig.” even
at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables should be numbered with
Roman numerals.
Because IEEE will do the final formatting of your article, all figures, figure captions, and tables
can be placed at the end of your article. However, if you do place your figures within the article,
they should be placed at the top of the page, closest to the first mention in the text. Figures
should be submitted as individual files, separate from the manuscript in one of the file formats
listed above. Place figure captions below the figures; place table headings above the tables. Do
not include captions as part of the figures, or put them in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Also,
do not place borders around the outside of your figures.
All IEEE Transactions, Journals, and Letters allow an author to publish color figures on IEEE
Xplore at no charge, and automatically convert them to grayscale for print versions. In most
journals, figures and tables may alternatively be printed in color if an author chooses to do so.
Please note that this service comes at an extra expense to the author. If you intend to have print
color graphics, you will have the opportunity to indicate this in the Author Gateway and will be
contacted by PubOps to confirm the charges.
Conclusion
A conclusion section is not required. Although a conclusion may review the main points of the article, do not
replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest
applications and extensions.

First A. Author (Fellow, IEEE) and all authors may include biographies if the
publication allows. Biographies are often not included in conference-related
papers. Please check the Information for Authors to confirm. Author photos
should be current, professional images of the head and shoulders. The first
paragraph may contain a place and/or date of birth (list place, then date). Next,
the author’s educational background is listed. The degrees should be listed with the type of
degree in what field, which institution, city, state, and country, and year the degree was earned.
The author’s major field of study should be lowercase.
The second paragraph uses the preferred third person pronoun (he, she, they, etc.) and not the
author’s last name. It lists military and work experience, including summer and fellowship jobs.
Job titles are capitalized. The current job must have a location; previous positions may be listed
without one. Information concerning previous publications may be included. The format for
listing publishers of a book within the biography is: Title of Book (publisher name, year) similar
to a reference. Current and previous research interests end the paragraph.
The third paragraph begins with the author’s preferred title and last name (e.g., Dr. Smith,
Prof. Jones, Mr. Kajor, Ms. Hunter, Mx. Riley). List any memberships in professional societies
other than the IEEE. Finally, list any awards and work for IEEE committees and publications.
