In developing countries, the unemployment, excess of population and other similar socio-economic factors galvanise the crime rates in these areas. It’s very easy to allude the blinded or differently challenged people. Hence the safety of this sector of the society is exacerbating. There is an ancillary problem with the differently challenged people being alone at home. They can’t fully control the electrical appliances like fans, lights and other devices with easy. In this paper I try to engender a solution for both these problems by coming up with a system for the safety as well as automating the home. The above mentioned problems are predominantly present in developing countries as compared to the developed countries. And hence, a cheap security cum automating system would be an eminent solution. In this paper I would like to expound on these problems as well as similar problems faced by this sector of the society. I have been successful in developing a device for the same, and now I am working on the android software so as to ease the implementation to the next level.

Keywords: Differently challenged people, home security system, home automation, PSoC 4, PIR sensor
