Bluetooth technology, whichaims to exchange data wirelessly in a short distanceusing short-wavelength radio transmissions, is providing a necessary technology to create convenience,intelligence and controllability. In this paper, anew Smart Living system called home lighting controlsystem using Bluetooth-based Android Smartphone isproposed and prototyped. First Smartphone, SmartLiving and Bluetooth technology are reviewed. Second the system architecture, communication protocoland hardware design aredescribed. Then the design of a Bluetooth-based Smartphone application andthe prototype are presented. It is shown that Android Smartphone can provide a platform to implementBluetooth-based application for Smart Living
