Abstract
This project presents a low cost and flexible home control and environmental monitoring system. It employs an embedded micro – web server in NODE MCU microcontroller, with IP connectivity for accessing and controlling devices and appliances remotely. These devices can be controlled through a web application or via Bluetooth Android based Smart phone app. The proposed system is target to solve problems of common peoples in day to day life. It provides open source to user to design automation in less price. Different sensors are connected to node MCU and can operate from any part of world with help of IoT. The proposed system is server independent and uses Internet of things to control human desired appliances. This project presents a design and prototype implementation of new home automation system that uses WiFi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system consists of two main components; the first part is the server (web server), which presents system core that manages, controls, and monitors users’ home. Second part is hardware interface module, which provides appropriate interface to sensors and actuator of home automation system. Besides monitoring humidity and temperature, the proposed system provides additional features of controlling household devices, automatic turn off/on of an appliance to prevent wastage of power.
