Abstract
Internet of Things is the new revolution that is going to impact every facet of our lives.It provides a platform that allows devices to connect, sensed and controlled remotely across a network infrastructure. IoT is the new technology which includes the collection of Sensors, Actuators, processors and other development boards (eg. Raspberry pi, Arduinoetc) to collect the data from different sources depending upon domain of application, process the acquired data before sending to distant cloud or mobile application depending upon the requirement.The ESP-8266 acts as the brain of this system, processing the requests, responding to the requests made by the Android application, communicating with the Arduino and also acts as a server to store the data given by the sensors. Our main objective of developing this model is to create a home automation system which interacts with the user through various push notifications based on concerned parameters which is also eco-friendly.This paper describes how to control and monitor home appliances using android application over internet. There are number of commercial home automation systems available in market. However, these are designed for limited use. Therefore, home appliances can individually be controlled both from within the home and remotely. This is very helpful to physically challenged people.
