Home Automation Using Iot: Abstract

This paper presents a home automation system using IoT and the ESP8266 microcontroller. The system allows users to control home appliances like lights and motors remotely via a web server and WiFi connection from anywhere in the world. The ESP8266 is used along with relays and motor drivers to switch appliances on and off under program or smartphone control. The system provides a low-cost way to automate home devices and improve comfort and convenience through remote access and control.

HOME AUTOMATION USING IOT

ABSTRACT:
This paper aims to present a home automation system based on IoT using the ESP8266 built-
in Node MCU. IoT and Wireless systems have a rising peak in the contribution of automating
our daily life devices and stepping towards a better and more comfortable future. This project
describes details of the utilization of this technology to automate home appliances. Hence for
the purpose, Node MCU (ESP8266) microcontroller is utilized with the Relays to control the
switching of appliances remotely from the server.

INTRODUCTION:
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes physical objects (or groups of such objects), that are
embedded with sensors, processing ability, software, and other technologies, and that connect
and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications
networks.
A smart home is defined as a home equipped with lighting, heating, and electronic devices
that can be controlled remotely by smartphone or computer.
In our project, we are trying to control some home appliances using ESP8266(Node MCU)
along with some relays and motor drivers. We can control the devices wirelessly from
anywhere using a normal web server and Wi-Fi technology.
We also control all the direct network-connected as well as mutually connected devices from
almost anywhere around the world.
As India is a developing country, stepping forward in automation with one of our topmost
advanced technologies of IoT (that uses servers and the internet to control electronic devices),
our objective is to build home automation using IoT that can be affordable to the people.

METHODOLOGIES:
Many home devices now have Wi-Fi and can interact with other home devices, smartphone
applications, and home computers. An issue is that these devices cannot communicate with
each other or require an additional device to do so and need an individual application on the
smartphone to be controlled. A much better option is to unify these devices into one
program/device that controls them.

As there are many platforms over which a home automation system can be implemented of
the currently available platforms -ESP8266, Wi-Fi, Arduino, powerline, Bluetooth was found
on which we can implement home automation systems. We are using Esp8266 over Arduino
as in Arduino we have to install Wi-Fi module externally while in ESP8266  Wi-Fi module is
pre-installed and instead of Bluetooth module, we are using Wi-Fi as in Bluetooth the range
of the network is less while in Wi-Fi it has wide range. These platforms were found most
appropriate due to their low cost availability , reliability, and simplicity when used for
individual control home automation systems which our project work is on .

1. Through Bluetooth Network.


2. Through Wifi Network.
3. Through Zigbee Network.
Conclusion
In this paper we have presented the concept of a Home Automation system using IoT. The
hardware components such as Node MCU, relays and motor drivers and other products
available in the market have been reviewed. We also discussed the specification of Node
MCU and the general system architecture of both hardware and software systems. Utilizing
this project will help you to control switching of home appliances from anywhere in the
world. Also the project is inclusive of the manual switches which makes it ready to face any
unexpected problem that may be caused due to the Node MCU microcontroller. This project
can further be improved by adding more home appliances like music system and also making
it more flexible by improvising its hardware and not only controlling the switching of the
devices but also their regulation speed. Our project has tried to overcome the limitation of
Wi-Fi presence at all times as it also has the manual switches attached to it.
