Home Automation Using ESP8266

Abstract

World’s demand for electricity had grown 85% between 2010 and 2017 this increase is more than today’s total use of electricity in India, USA, Japan, Australia combined. We can’t decrease the electricity growth rate but we can lessen the amount of electricity wasted each year by turning off our home appliances when not in use. This project presents a design and prototype of Home Automation system that will use ESP8266 Wi-Fi module as a network provider in connecting with other appliances. The proposed system has two main components. The first main part is Arduino, which controls and manages input of Wi-Fi module. The other main component is Wi-Fi module through Wi-Fi module a web server can be added to the module which will help in controlling of devices over Internet. One server can manage many hardware interface modules as long as it exists on Wi-Fi network coverage. It supports a wide range of home automation devices like power management components, and security components. We want to make this automation system centralized and artificially intelligent. Further we will connect the specific home to our database and it can be accessed from anywhere through a specific IP address or website.
