INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)
Fast-paced life and frequent preoccupation of human commitments make him have not a sufficient time in his house and needs remote control automated for single or multiple electronic and electrical devices in anywhere and at any time for digital TV, receiver, camera, etc. via mobile App. automation have a major impact when discovered, and served many fields such as medical, industrial, corporation, building, transportation etc., and then it expanded and reached homes, known as "Home automation" such as controlling TV, Radio, DVD-Player which can be found in every home now days. All these devices have a common way of communicating and responding by using a remote control which sends signals. Remote control is a small device which sending IR signals to the device, and the device confirms these signals and responds according to a simple written program to produce the signal, this program contains loops to print a number several times, using an Arduino UNO board and LED light emitting diode light, remote control uses electromagnetic waves. Light, x-rays, radio waves, and microwaves to send signals as shown in Fig.

1[1]. The problem is to control multidevice anywhere any location using an IR system as there are many remote controls in daily life use. It could get lost or trouble of having many. For controlling mechanism either there is computer or mobile like android but the problem there isn’t hybrid system that can run on multidevice. A. Hybrid Technology Hybrid technology allows human to use one single platform to cover more than one device out there by combining native and web applications for example: desktop, web, mobile, tablet, TV, watch and many other devices. In addition, it is open source software, this feature makes the most used devices covered in the market to reach more users [2].Examples of open source software involve: x x
Open platform PhoneGap and Cordova software Open platform ionic framework
B. Internet of things (IoT) Nowadays most common use devices such as mobile, sensor, watch, TV connect to the Internet using a wireless technology. IoT makes them capable of share, communicate, and transfer data through the Internet whether posting to a server or reading data from a server. There are many devices that support IoT like Arduino, Raspberry PI[3], and other micro-electronic devices. IoT capable of using the Internet and wireless technology to produce an environment of a remote

connection is made between the smart unit and home proxy actively providing the state of the unit[8].
C. Cloud Cloud computing is serving many areas like infrastructure, platform, and software, as there are many examples in-use such as Amazon and Google. Google as an example provides a service called "Google app engine" by which you can create your own service and program by python, for example, a chat application.This service can be available for anyone who has the Internet and a computer. As for this research a cloud service that monitor electronic device and post this data to the cloud used. The mobile application will be fetching data from the cloud as needed[5].
Ismaeel and et. al. The drawback is limitation of range (150m) and all the system is wire base there is no mobile application.
II. RELATED WORK Ismaeel and et. al. (2013) designed an automatic remote control system for gas reduction using PIC microcontroller, this system uses a PIC microcontroller which can be programmed to control the gas station. The controller consists of three main blocks: flash program memory, random access memory, and electrically erasable programmable read only memory. The flash memory stores the program permanently which can rewrite it at any time. To write data, erase old data can be used first then enter new data. After ending hardware programming, a graphical user interface can use as a control system, IP network as an open platform provides monitoring remotely from a distance that reaches (150m) arbitrary[6]. Khadke(2014) designed a home appliance control system using an Android smartphone. This system uses a GSM network, home information center, a wireless switch which transmit commands from the android to the controller. The commands executed and radio frequency sent to control the device ultimately. The user has to create an account to get a permission and ID for identifying him by the information center, so it can control home appliance through a Bluetooth. When the phone Bluetooth is searching for related devices to pair and connect, you will be ready to send the message to the device to control your home appliance [7]. Wenbo et al. (2015) designed a smart house based on internet and WiFi technologies. This method provides a wireless solution by using internet protocol in controlling your home appliance, also by using smart units and home proxy. This system uses UART-WiFi that can easily be access by IoT to provide wireless functionality and by help of proxies to connect and transmit data between the device and the user controller. For controlling and monitoring the state of peripherals that exist in home, XMPP is used. There is a server that runs DBMS system using MySQL with XMPP protocols to store user data. You need to register on the server before you can have access to control your home device. The smart unit makes a safe wireless network broadcasting which enables mobile phone to access through a (wireless name, encryption type and password). The module uses a local IP port and address to open configuration for user, and can be communicated through AT commands. For software part, the home proxy establishes a link with the wireless network, then it will try to find smart units to connect. After finding the link, a
Khadke The drawback the system is only for android and there is no cloud as solution. Wenbo et al. The drawback of the system is it cost more compared to other device, there is no cloud system nor for backup or controlling mechanism and the mobile application is only for android. This paper proposes an automated system to overcome the previous drawback by making the control work available anywhere any location, also supporting it by a framework to provide a cross-platform functionality with a minimum cost. III. PROPOSED AUTOMATED SYSTEM System architecture can be presented as shown in Fig. 2 in any home, there are many appliances to be controlled, whether it is a TV, Satellite, DVD player or any device that have a remote/local control capable of sending IR signals. For setup requirement, a router is needed to provide the Internet connection. Any smart phone like iPhone/android or iPad/Tablet will do job for software part. The hardware will try to connect the available WiFi, then connects with cloud via a unique key, and then open a MQTT broker connection for publish and subscribe to work, thus will design novel device achieved these tasks named Worldwide Auto-mobi. Sending the signal will be a matter of clicking a button on your phone to send IR to cloud, which hardware subscribed to cloud, and receive all published message from it. The signal will be directed to the hardware unit through router, and it will send IR directly via IR sender LED after successful transmission ESP8266 will go to listening again for new message. ESP8266 will try to connect to local WiFi if fails it will reset and try again the same goes for cloud after successful connection to WiFi then it will connect to cloud if fails it will reset and try again. Fig. 3 describes the WiFi module ESP8266, and shows how it handles the workflow during sending and receiving data from the cloud. For experimental result If all the appliance to be controlled is place in one place the Auto-mobi device will be point to these devices and establish in the room to cover devices that not pointed to one direction by repeating the signal for IR LED in four direction to remote control all appliance in the room and it enough only GPIO0 for sending the signal.IR LED can work in range of 2.5-3.5m. for different device to be controlled there

VIII. CONCLUSION The proposal of IoT home automated system shows controlling devices locally or remotely (anywhere and any location) using WiFi technology, micro-electronic Arduino UNO and hybrid mobile application can be run in any platform (like Android, IOS, Windows, etc.). The proposed system provides a solution to combine multiple controls in home by using a single application on the smart device. The application gives an easy and control to apply compact by using simple interface of buttons made by Ionic framework supported by Angular JS. The system is easy to change the control of the appliance, just swipe on device to control the different appliance. The proposed system is economical because using a low cost device (about 30$) and the delay of time this system shows range (0.4-1) Sec. that means within response of real time, this range based on internet speed also how far or near the home. Finally, this proposed system provides a best solution of remote controlling can be reached to electric/ electronic devices anywhere anytime through cloud. The future works can summary as follow: • Can use the proposed system for remote controlling of dangerous devices via Worldwide Auto-mobi device, e.g. nuclear power tests and a rescue robot distance, these devices needed a safety distance during the work, which can't be directly operated and for safety can be controlled remotely. • A level of security between user and cloud service is provided to a device by encrypting the channel.
Fig. 6. ESP8266 Send IR Signal
• Expanding cloud parameters for example (limited size of sending data to devices) make the remote control better for sending data to cloud this make exporting JSON data easier and data can be fetched faster.
VII. DISCUSSION RESULT
• Increasing the size of library for sending IR signal for example (the size of each IR is limited) makes the control more general and controlling more appliance in future.
The important factor of proposed system is the delay/response time founded (0.4 to 1) Sec. according to internet speed (is 3G or 4G) and how far or near to your home, this range is near real-time (within a few seconds) mobile cloud App. [10]. Table (1) shows the efficiency of proposed automated system comparing to other related systems.
• Replacement Arduino UNO with Raspberry Pi or Arduino Nano as a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board e.g. based on e.g. the ATmega328 (It has more or the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package) to minimize the size of Worldwide Automobi device to become like any other IR device, e.g. W809 smart remote device (WiFi smart home automated) or smallest. • In future this system upgrade multiple actuating signals (multiple directions communication downstream because the cloud free can support 5 devices at time http://arest.io/cloud) by add sensor signals communicated in upstream to be as IoT for Home Automation

control and freely control your home appliance remote in anywhere, any location and any distance. Setup method will prepare the required variables and functions to be accessed by the cloud, IR method will send the signal after receiving parameters from mobile which will trigger the cloud to post a message to the device and perform a task such as sending a signal of a Sony remote control as shown in Fig. 6. VI. ILLUSTRATIVE A. ESP8266 settings: Unique ID d5EC7s to initialize ESP8266 as client and register it for publish subscribe client then add it to aRest API. B. Cloud settings: http://Cloud.arest.io is ready to use and free the following commands can be used to send data to cloud http://cloud.arest.io/d5EC7s/mode/0/o by requesting this link with HTTP GET the GPIO0 of ESP8266 will be set to output then http://cloud.arest.io/d5EC7s/sendCode?params=0x5FA02FD:3 2:NEC will request to send message (sendCode) holds the message of (params) which contain the hexadecimal, bit and encoding to ESP8266.

VIII. CONCLUSION The proposal of IoT home automated system shows controlling devices locally or remotely (anywhere and any location) using WiFi technology, micro-electronic Arduino UNO and hybrid mobile application can be run in any platform (like Android, IOS, Windows, etc.). The proposed system provides a solution to combine multiple controls in home by using a single application on the smart device. The application gives an easy and control to apply compact by using simple interface of buttons made by Ionic framework supported by Angular JS. The system is easy to change the control of the appliance, just swipe on device to control the different appliance. The proposed system is economical because using a low cost device (about 30$) and the delay of time this system shows range (0.4-1) Sec. that means within response of real time, this range based on internet speed also how far or near the home. Finally, this proposed system provides a best solution of remote controlling can be reached to electric/ electronic devices anywhere anytime through cloud. The future works can summary as follow: • Can use the proposed system for remote controlling of dangerous devices via Worldwide Auto-mobi device, e.g. nuclear power tests and a rescue robot distance, these devices needed a safety distance during the work, which can't be directly operated and for safety can be controlled remotely. • A level of security between user and cloud service is provided to a device by encrypting the channel.

• Expanding cloud parameters for example (limited size of sending data to devices) make the remote control better for sending data to cloud this make exporting JSON data easier and data can be fetched faster.
VII. DISCUSSION RESULT
• Increasing the size of library for sending IR signal for example (the size of each IR is limited) makes the control more general and controlling more appliance in future.
The important factor of proposed system is the delay/response time founded (0.4 to 1) Sec. according to internet speed (is 3G or 4G) and how far or near to your home, this range is near real-time (within a few seconds) mobile cloud App. [10]. Table (1) shows the efficiency of proposed automated system comparing to other related systems.
• Replacement Arduino UNO with Raspberry Pi or Arduino Nano as a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board e.g. based on e.g. the ATmega328 (It has more or the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package) to minimize the size of Worldwide Automobi device to become like any other IR device, e.g. W809 smart remote device (WiFi smart home automated) or smallest. • In future this system upgrade multiple actuating signals (multiple directions communication downstream because the cloud free can support 5 devices at time http://arest.io/cloud) by add sensor signals communicated in upstream to be as IoT for Home Automation
