Electrical Home Automation Using IoT and Arduino

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is a system which has several devices i.e. home appliances and any other gadgets which sensors and other various sensing devices are implanted with them to perform a task which is to interconnect and also transmit data in between neighboring devices and networks by using the internet. The inter-connected system of IoT provides and gives the possibility and the capability of controlling and monitoring devices automatically and remotely, each device is given a very unique IP address and they are recognized and communicated through those IP addresses. The IoT gadgets or devices are smart and intelligent and they take control from Web server that is installed in the cloud, the data that the gadgets gather from the environment is sent through an IoT gateway for analyzing and then perform the required task accordingly and sometimes those data are sent in to the cloud. The home automation is referred as a way of managing and monitoring the home appliances/devices remotely by either manually or automatically. Home automation gives the owner of the house the capability of controlling his home devices. Home Automation design refers to the ways of automating typical home appliance functions with not requiring for human input. Simultaneously, a home automation android application and an automated web page script have been built for deployment of the internet of things architecture. Home automation is effective because it helps users to utilize their home equipment smoothly and efficient. The cutting edge technologies that has developed these days allows the technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to provide connection of several gadgets without the need of physical wired connection which reduces the cost. One of the advantages of this system of automation is that it gives you the ability to control and monitor your home appliances from one centered place, which means you, can control your home appliances all at once and see their status.
