Smart Home Automation using Augmented Reality and Internet of Things

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the concept of Augmented Reality and the Internet of Things controlling home appliances through the internet. Nowadays, Home Automation using IoT became an integral part but it can be extended to Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality is used to superimpose interactive content into real-world objects. It helps in placing the 3D objects that help in controlling different IoT devices. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate and analyse the control of home appliances using augmented reality with the internet of things by a Wi-Fi-based microcontroller. This paper also demonstrates its approach toward multiple devices and proves that augmented reality and IoT are complementary to each other that visual interactive objects can control IoT devices. Performance measures like transmission time, RSSI were taken which plays a major role in terms of Internet of Things. The Transmission time determines the time taken by the Wi-Fi of Esp32 to connect to the blynk server. The Comparative analysis for the Transmission ON time and Transmission OFF time at different ranges is measured. The Transmission ON time is of maximum of 2.36 seconds at a distance of 5m and of 2.65 seconds at a distance of 10m without any hindrance. The Transmission time with a wall hindrance is increases than without the wall hindrance. The Transmission ON time is of 2.9 seconds and the Transmission OFF time is of 2.8 seconds. The Received Signal Strength Indicator indicates the strength of the wifi network is also measured and it indicates the network is good. The Measured value is between -23 dbm to -25 dbm which indicates a better network performance.
