Introduction The main goal of this project is to develop a mount that interfaces with a wide array of digital input control panels, incorporating the ability to control various appliances through a remote location. A programmable user interface will control ordinary household devices remotely based on specific user input. 2. Motivation Current remote appliance control systems only advertise the ability to control devices that are tailored specifically to that manufacturer. Some systems have physical control units that must be installed within the home while others require mobile applications for smart phone platforms (e.g. iPhone, Android, etc.) to use as a control device. Mainstream smart home environments such as X10 focus mainly on remote access of security devices. The SMARTMOUNT system differs in that the controlling device consists of a physical mount that is adjustable to multiple digital input surfaces. The mount is compatible with various manufacturers'

designs and can be used for multiple household appliances. The Wi-Fi protocol is used to seamlessly integrate the developed control algorithm to readily available components within the home, where the user can then access these appliances through Internet-capable devices such as a computer or cell phone.

4 The desired devices that will be remotely controlled are push-button household appliances such as an oven, television, lights, and microwave. This system is targeted to those who desire access to the appliance remotely and who wish to have these devices running once they reach it. The user distance can range from an adjacent room within the home to a different town. A user can set his lights and television to turn on, set the oven to start preheating, and set the thermostat to turn on just a few minutes before he/she arrives home, essentially eliminating any waiting time. Maximizing convenience for the user is the ultimate goal. 3. Parts List and Budget Component Manufacturer Quantity Price (ea.) HS-322HD Standard Deluxe Servo Motors Hitec

Communication Design 4.1: Arduino Microcontroller In order to make the physical mount and Graphical User Interface (GUI) communicate with each other, the use of a microcontroller is required. A microcontroller is a self-contained embeddable system (composed of traditional computing components such as a CPU, memory, etc.) that is highly adaptable based on an inherent need. In the SMARTMOUNT system, the Arduino Uno, a programmable open-source single-board microcontroller was incorporated:
