    An Improved GSM Technology-Based Microcontroller Multi-Sensor Home Security and Monitoring System
    (International Engineering Conference (IEC), School of Engineering and Engineering Technology (SEET), 2015) Oyewobi S. Stephen; M. Okwori; E. U. Mpkuma; W. M. Audu
    With increasing rate of crime all over the world, and with no pointer to this rate of crime abating anytime soon, home security has now become a major concern. Therefore most people; rich or poor are taking measures from highly sophisticated to very crude methods to prevent intrusion. This work presents a GSM technology-based home security and monitoring system. However, unlike the traditional magnetic switch alarms equipped on doors and windows, this system has incorporated a fire detector, a motion sensor and a moisture (rainfall) sensor. On any attempt of a break in, rainfall or possible smoke or fire a short message service (SMS) is sent to the house owner. The system is built using a programmed microcontroller interfaced with mobile phone (NOKIA 1209) such that the three major buttons of the mobile phone are switched at intervals to send a message to the owner of the house anytime there is an intruder, rainfall or fire accident. The system was tested and it worked on attempt of intrusion, rainfall (water) and smoke.

    A GSM-Based Remote Controlled Poultry Feed Dispensing System Using DTMF
    (2016) Ahmed, A.; Olaniyi, O. M.; Dogo, E. M.; James, E.
    Poultry rearing for small scale and commercial farmers has made large contribution in food production. With the recent decline in contribution of livestock subsectors to the national economy, there is a need to device a means of making poultry farming convenient, attractive and maximize yield. Automated Feeding is considered very important in poultry production; however, many famers in the tropical regions practice subsistence farming and mostly employ manual poultry feeding. This paper presents the development of a GSM-based remote-control poultry feed dispensing system via Dual Tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) for intermittent control of poultry feed dispensing. Proper knowledge in this area by farmer will help in running effective production and increase yield in meat and egg to maximize profit. The system is multi state fully input dependent system whose change of state can be controlled by a remote control. The developed mechatronic system reduces manpower, saves time and operates efficiently with minimal human involvement in poultry feeding. The system demonstrated practical effort regarding the improvement in performance of existing solid feed dispensing for high yield with minimal human intervention
