Intelligent Home Automation Using IoT

Abstract

Abstract: When it comes to automation and smart homes, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a crucial idea in today's world. It has to do with the automation of things through computing, in which all things and physical devices can be connected in order to make them sentient and programmable so that they can interact with humans. IoT is a cloud computing network that allows users to access physical objects or control equipment over a wireless network from any distance, at any time and in any location. One example of IoT technology is smart home automation. The usage of IoT in smart home automation was completely adopted in the twenty-first century, according to this study, by guaranteeing that household appliances and equipment were connected. This sort of IoT design not only controls devices, but also stores sensor data in the cloud and acts on it. The cloud is used to deliver sensor data via Wi-Fi module, and then a decision tree is applied to determine the output of the electronic devices. IoT-based services help to improve the domestic environment and are utilised for a variety of purposes. IoT applications based on home automation are flexible and widely used. This provides access to specific data in the house as well as the ability to control various parameters remotely. This article details the entire architecture of a smart home automation system based on IoT sensing and monitoring. The suggested smart home automation system prototype is constructed and tested on hardware in this project, allowing the user to control a limited number of household appliances using the bylnk application. The NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller is used, and communication between the microcontroller and the application is done using Wi-Fi (Internet).
