Design and Development of IoT Based Home Automation using Arduino

Abstract

This article presents a home automation system that is low-cost, flexible, and safe. It is based on the Arduino microcontroller and has an Internet Protocol (IP) connection via a local Wi-Fi network. This connection enables an authorized user to have remote access and control over the devices in the house using a smartphone application. The proposed system makes use of the Internet of Things to provide server-free management of a broad range of humanly desired gear, ranging from industrial equipment to consumer goods. These controls may be applied to several items. In addition, the user can control the system via the use of several remote devices, such as a web browser, smartphone, or infrared (IR) remote module. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of a home automation system by showing how it can be built using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and an IC ATmega328 used as a connecting module. The system is shown to be functional. It gives the user the ability to make choices based on the information gathered from sensors as well as remotely control gadgets like lights, fans, and TVs. Our technology has been tested and proven effective in a broad variety of contexts via the use of experimental methods.
