Abstract

Application based communication and data transfer through the internet is one of the most powerful and advanced methods. Internet facilitates the people to stay connected with each other within the organization and out of the organization. Physical devices and objects used for connection through the internet are called the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices are integrated with wireless routers that permit communication by using cloud services to store, retrieve and analyze the information. Advancements in various technologies have been achieved day-by-day using IoT for online analysis, use and control of sensors, embedded system, and automation. Automated home through IoT technology is called shrewd household. IoT is utilized to monitor and switch the devices and applications. IoT is manufactured and programmed in such a way that it can control vehicle, home appliances, health care devices, wearable and electronics devices remotely. Home automation is an integrated system comprising of illumination, warming, environmental, broadcasting and safety structures. The advantage of a smart home is to save energy automatically by turning off lights and other electronic devices. Security of home is one of the major aspects that can be enhanced by using IoT. Another important application of IoT based home automation is to assist disable and elderly persons. These home systems are equipped with a wireless system (end to end connectivity) to control and monitor the appliances by using packet PC, window PC, and smart phones. Web applications and software are developed to be installed in Smartphone or tablet PC to control and monitor the home appliances remotely. In this book chapter, Some basic ideas related to internet and working of internet, IoT and it’s architecture, embedded system, and automation have been discussed. Further IoT devices and application, home automation and embedded system’s requirements for designing the home automation have been discussed in detail. At the end home automation using IoT and advantages of IoT for the home automation system have been reported.
