A fuzzy logic controller was used to perform the temperature control. The idea behind the use of the fuzzy logic was from the fact that temperature is not explicitly defined and fuzzy logic treats the true value of linguistic variable as a number between 0 and 1, rather than being just “true” or “false”. The purpose was therefore to explore the functional behaviour of several domestic appliances in order to regulate the temperature control by switching to devices through a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The fuzzy inference mechanism adopted was fuzzy based logic since it can output to some mathematical function of the fuzzy input(s). The current temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and the Analog value of this temperature was converted to its digital equivalent form employing Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). The digitized value was compared with the reference temperature (set by the user) based on which the devices were switched (ON/OFF) as per the fuzzy sets defined in the Fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Fuzzy logic has been employed to control temperature of numerous applications by switching the cooling and heating devices through Fuzzy logic controller (FLC). KEYWORDS: Fuzzy Logic Controller, Fuzzy Logic, Temperature Control, MATLAB 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper was to design a system that could control the temperature of devices on the basis of fuzzy logic rules defined in a fuzzy logic controller designed for
