Design and Development of Home Automation System

Internet of things is based on the integration of various real-world objects by interconnecting them using the Internet. This concept can be applied to build an automated smart home. A phone application will be used to control various electrical and electronic appliances such as fans, lights, fire alarms, automatic doors, smoke detectors, etc., through various sensors and actuators. The microcontroller used in the proposed prototype is node MCU. It is Wi-Fi equipped and can be programmed using Arduino IDE. The working principle of the proposed system is based on different types of wireless communication techniques such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. This enables us to remotely control manage and monitor home appliances. An automated home is smarter, safer, more convenient, time saving as well as energy efficient.
