IOT Controlled Home Automation Technologies

Abstract

IoT controlled Home Automation allows objects to be sensed and/or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems. Energy consumption can be measured through its environmental impact and usage; the measure of the amount of power consumed by the load side of an electrical circuit is termed energy consumption. Energy consumption is a major issue in the modern world. Inefficient power monitoring and controlling techniques in the households, businesses, and institutions are the main cause of power consumption. This system is intended to assist and provide support to the needy ones like the elderly, disabled etc. Also, the IoT controlled home concept will greatly help in reducing the power consumption and the risk of fire incidences.This study is to showcase the design and implementation of an IOT Controlled Home Automation Technologies. This unit was developed using low-cost components such as the universal Arduino microcontroller and esp8266 Wi-Fi module. One of the features of the developed unit is the ability to monitor and control electrical and electronics appliance from internet through a website. This feature ensures home security and ease of control. It results improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention.
