Arduino Based Home Automation through Internet of Things IoT

Abstract

Today, the use of home automation has increased by leaps and bounds. Home automation is one of the most interesting field information technology. Home automation in simple terms is dominating several activities of our home through advance technologies. In this project we will develop a prototype demonstrating various aspects of Home Automation, like controlling electronic devices, using the devices only when needed thus saving energy, switch on/off electrical appliances with mobile phone from distinct places. It permits the person to carry out different acts of home from a distant place. By using various type of sensors we can automate our homes. The unique feature of home automation is that all the devise in the home are controlled automatically by the help of remote sensor that is connected to the central host PC. The Wi-Fi which is a wireless technology is used to have a connection between the webserver and the NODEMCU. The hardware and software components comprise of Arduino IDE, Breadboard, Jumper cables, Arduino Uno, NodeMCU ESP8266, HCSR04, LED Display, and Potentiometer.
