Designation of a Home Automation System using Nodemcu with Home Wireless Control Appliances in Traditional Malay House

Abstract

This paper presents a design of home automation system using IoT that is capable of controlling and monitoring most of traditional Malay house appliances using an easily manageable application. The proposed system is highly flexible as it uses Wi-Fi technology to interconnect between the controlled board & Wi-Fi module. This system uses 4-loads to control house appliances, and has user-friendly interface that allows user to easily control the Malay house appliances through the internet. The proposed system consists of NodeMCU (Node Microcontroller Unit) and powered by 5V Adaptor/Charger (Micro-type). The NodeMCU, is connected to a relay unit to operate electrical appliances over the internet. Meanwhile, the loads are controlled by relays. After the user sends commands over the internet, the NodeMCU processes the instructions to operate the loads accordingly, and displays the system status on a smartphone display. Thus, this system allows for efficient home automation over the internet.
