Project Brief

We live in an exciting time where more and more everyday items “things” are becoming smart! “Things” have sensors and can communicate with other “things” and can provide control to more “things”. The Internet of Things, IoT, is upon us in a huge way and people are rapidly inventing new gadgets that enhance our lives. The price of microcontrollers with the ability to talk over a network keeps dropping and developers can now think and build things inexpensively.
This IoT based Smart home project is done using low-cost custom build ESP8266 WiFi Module, and Raspberry pi zero. A system that uses mobile app to control basic home functions and features automatically through internet from anywhere around the world, an automated home is sometimes called a smart home. It is meant to save the electric power and provide better security service. The home automation system differs from other systems by allowing the user to operate the system from anywhere around the world through internet connection without breaking any convention usability.
This project provides significant electric power saving solution at homes and at the offices with help of dynamic control of electric supply over internet using smart switch, and another is a lowcost wireless plug and use surveillance system with live streaming over internet connection and in-build video storage capacity.
Project contains both hardware and software development where hardware program is built using Embedded C and Python language on Arduino IDE, whereas mobile application is built using Java language on Android studio.
