IoT (Internet of Things) Home Automation

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data. In this project, IoT based switching and data observation for home appliances as the topic since every device can be controlled from any position in the presence of internet. Again, if anyone wants to observe the data of the devices related to activation of every instance then s/he can also use this integrated device. In this project ESP8086 driver is used as the controller of the whole device as control board, magnetic relay as switch, and ESP Wi-Fi module for interfacing device with Wi-Fi. A software named as thinger.io is also developed for the betterment and ease of communication with cloud server and ESP driver module. By this software anyone can control the device and also observe data of each and every moment, if s/he away from room. It can also show us the rate of darkness as well as temperature in the room through LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) & Thirstier, whose functionality rely on light intensity & temperature. The emergency switch on/off can be performed in that case. The goal of this project is to provide a low-cost and flexible solution to control and monitor home appliances. The extension cannot be completed due to the limitation of resources & enough time.
