Abstract:
Comfort is becoming a major priority in the 21st century. So, the revolutions of computing and smart environment came into existence. Some technologies like Ubiquitous/pervasive and ambient intelligence satisfy the maximum need of smart world but these technologies are not tightly coupled with the internet, so the people need another technology extension. Internet of Things (IoT) is an ideal buzzing technology to influence the internet and communication technologies. IoT allows people and things to be connected anytime, anyplace, with anything and anyone, by using ideally in any path/network and any service. Home automation system achieved great popularity in the last decades and it increases the quality of life. In this thesis, an overview of home automation systems is discussed. This thesis presents a design and prototype of the Home Automation system. The main part is NodeMCU, which has inbuilt Wi-Fi module, which will help in controlling devices over the Internet. It supports a wide range of home automation devices like power management systems. In addition to that, an app would be developed which will allow the user to control their devices using the Google Assistant.
