IOT BASED HOME

AUTOMATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
 This project presents a design and prototype implementation of
new home automation system that uses Wi Fi technology as a
network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system
consists of two main components; the first part is the server (web
server), which presents system core that manages, controls, and
monitors users’ home. Users and system administrator can locally
(LAN) or remotely (internet) manage and control system code.
 Second part is hardware interface module, which provides
appropriate interface to sensors and actuator of home automation
system. Unlike most of available home automation system in the
market the proposed system is scalable that one server can manage
many hardware interface modules 5 as long as it exists on Wi Fi
network coverage.
 System supports a wide range of home automation devices like
power management components, and security components. The
proposed system is better from the scalability and flexibility point
of view than the commercially available home automation systems.
INTRODUCTION
 The project aims at designing an advanced home automation
system using normal web server and Wi-Fi technology. The
devices can be switched ON/OFF and sensors can be read using a
Personal Computer (PC) through Wi-Fi.
 Automation is the most frequently spelled term in the field of
electronics. The hunger for automation brought many revolutions
in the existing technologies. These had greater importance than any
other technologies due to its user-friendly nature. These can be
used as a replacement of the existing switches in home which
produces sparks and also results in fire accidents in few situations.
Considering the advantages of Wi-Fi an advanced automation
system was developed to control the appliances in the house.
 Wi-Fi (Short for Wireless Fidelity) is a wireless technology that
uses radio frequency to transmit data through the air. Wi-Fi has
initial speeds of 1mbps to 2mbps. Wi-Fi transmits data in the
frequency band of 2.4 GHz. It implements the concept of
frequency division multiplexing technology. Range of Wi-Fi
technology is 40-300 feet. The controlling device for the
automation in the project is a Node MCU esp8266. The data sent
from PC over Wi-Fi will be received by Wi-Fi module connected
Node MCU esp8266. Node MCU esp8266.

Working

 Using an Node MCU esp8266 based home automation system.


 Node MCU Pin: - D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 For Relay pins.
(Digital Pin)
 Node MCU Pin :- +3.3v has 1 Port ( supply Pin)
 Node MCU Pin :- GND has 3 Port (Ground Pin)
 When you press the button ON the Wi-Fi controller app, it sends a
signal ON to the ESP.
 The module is programmed in such a way that when it receives the
ON signal, it turns it's GPIO state to HIGH. By doing so, the relay
gets activated and so the appliance turn ON.
 In the same way when you press OFF, the ESP turns it's GPIO
state to LOW, and so the relay turns off so the appliance.
 The working principle is very simple as compared to the
complication in MQTT.
 Reads the data and decides the switching action of electrical
devices connected to it through Relays.
Advantages

 Consumes less power and easy to operate.


 MQTT offers higher security to the transmitting data.
 Operation done in within seconds.
 Multiple users are authorized.
 Any user easily handle.
 Less maintenance can require.
Applications

• Lighting control

• HVAC

• Lawn/Gardening management

• Smart Home Appliances

• Improved Home safety and security

• Home air quality and water quality monitoring

• Natural Language-based voice assistants

• Better Infotainment delivery

• AI-driven digital experiences

• Smart Switches

• Smart Locks

• Smart Energy Meters


Future scope

• Future scope for the home automation systems involves making


homes even smarter. ... The system can be integrated closely with
home security solutions to allow greater control and safety for
home owners. The next step would be to extend this system to
automate a large scale environment, such as offices and factories.
• Once a dream, IOT home automation is slowly but steadily
becoming a part of daily lives around the world. In fact, it is
believed that the global market for smart home automation will
reach $40 billion by 2020. This shouldn't be surprising when you
consider the convenience and ease that smart home devices offer.
