Aim
The aim of the project is to open/close a gate using smartphone.
Problem statement
When you enter your house premises, you’ve to get out of the car to open the gate, and take your car in. Once you park the car, again, you come out to close the gate. This seems to be frustrating when you’re moving out for an emergency. Also, it is not good for the engine of your vehicle, when you repeatedly turn it off, soon after you on it. To overcome this issue we develop a system which efficiently accomplish this task without any human effort.
