Remote Control of Baby Room in Embedded System Technology

Abstract

In this study, a remote controlled smart crib design and application was performed that alerts by sending voice message or SMS via prepared Android software to mobile phones of relevant people when baby cries or gets wet. Bluetooth HC-05 module, BDT21 temperature and humidity sensor, FC-28 wetness sensor, sound decibel sensor, relay, DC motor, SD cart module, speaker IP camera, Arduino Uno R3 and Android software system were used for this purpose. When baby room is desired to be monitored, a password is asked by the system for security purposes. Mother and Father can watch baby room as online from IP camera and can shake crib with remote control if necessary. During shaking crib, the system helps baby to sleep by playing previously specified lullaby. Baby room was provided to stay at appropriate temperature. Mobile phone keeps all events that occur when the system is open and sends this report as an e-mail to defined e-mail address when requested. The system will be helpful for especially working mothers and fathers since they come tired from work, staying sleepless in the night, and it reduces efficiency in the workplace they work. With the system that we designed and implemented; this will be prevented in a certain extent.
