1 INTRODUCTION
The era in which we live is called the era of technology
because things are dramatically changing with each passing
day. For example, we have mobile phones for talking,
automobiles for traveling, and many other things due to
rapid technological innovations. Have you ever considered
smart home automation that allows you to control individual
appliances? Sometimes, we must remember to turn off our
appliances in a hurry. On the other hand, if we think about
those countries, power is a significant issue; in that case,
we have to go somewhere to switch off some appliances.
Some turn on because of power consumption, or a short
circuit issue might occur, which is severely dangerous
for our homes. If these appliances become alerted to our
smartphones and we forget the switch-on/off activity, we can
easily handle it[1]. Also, it is the same for those who work
far away from their home and don’t know that their home is
safe from unauthorized and suspicious activities, so how can
they be sure that it is safe? If the locks are connected to your
mobile device, suspicious activities can be easily managed
anywhere. In this regard, many organizations offer many
types of intelligent home-related applications, but they are
too costly, and many people cannot afford these facilities[2]. In
that case, we are making it for those who wish to have robust
smart home remote monitoring on their limited budget, offer
solutions to their real-life problems, switch on/off power,
check short circuits, lock homes, and efficiently check
their home appliances[3]. Therefore, considering the facility
mentioned above, the primary goal of this research is to
create an IoT-based smart control and monitoring system for
smart home appliances. We will develop such a system using
various network-enabled devices like NodeMcu - a type of
Internet of Things (IoT) controlled remotely over the Internet.
We will use agile-scum methodology for the completion of
such tasks.
The review highlighted the importance of sensors,
actuators, data acquisition, processing units, and cloudbased platforms in enabling real-time data collection,
analysis, and control. It discussed different architectural
models and their advantages and limitations, including
centralized, distributed edge computing, and hybrid
architectures. In addition, it explored communication
protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, and WebSocket,
considering their scalability, reliability, and energy
efficiency. IoT-based smart control and monitoring systems’
applications span home automation, industrial control,
agriculture, healthcare, and smart cities. Each application
domain presents unique challenges and requirements
that must be addressed for a successful implementation.
However, several challenges and limitations remain. These
include security and privacy concerns, interoperability
issues, power consumption optimization, data management
and analytics, and scalability. Overcoming these challenges
is crucial for the widespread adoption and deployment of
smart control and monitoring systems based on the IoT.

Despite these challenges, the benefits of IoT-based
smart control and monitoring systems are significant.
They offer increased efficiency, improved safety, decisionmaking, and cost savings in various sectors. As the IoT
ecosystem continues to evolve and technologies advance,
these systems are expected to become more sophisticated,
reliable, and integrated into our daily lives. IoT-based
intelligent control and monitoring systems have tremendous
potential to revolutionize industries and improve our quality
of life. More research, development, and standardization
efforts are needed to overcome existing challenges and
unlock this technology’s capabilities.
1.1 Problem Statement
Sometimes, in a hurry, we forget to switch off the
appliance, and if we talk about some countries where load
shedding (shortage of electricity) is a major issue, and if we
have to go somewhere and suddenly load shedding starts.
We switch off all the lights, and after a few hours, we return
home and see some appliances are still on, so why not?
There is a system that gives you an alert when the electricity
comes on, so you forget this thing. On the other hand, if you
are far away from your home because of work and you’re
not sure about the safety of your home so, what if there’s a
feature in a system which, with the help of your browser,
you can check once a day very easily.
1.2 Objectives
In hardware, we have an intelligent hub, NodeMcu, in
which various devices are integrated to control specific
appliances. On the online web, there’s a state change
option to prevent, which provides a user-friendly interface
that helps. Our project aims to design an advanced IoTbased SCMS using hardware devices. They both work as
transceivers and can operate their home in an automated
way with just a single click.
