Web based electric home appliance controller and monitoring system

In this paper, a cost-effective IoT-based smart home appliance control and monitoring system has been proposed. The proposed system is a fusion of the traditional electrical appliance controls and web-(IoT-) based control system. With the proposed system, user gets both the option to control or monitor the electrical appliances remotely over internet and also through switchboard in-house. The system is developed fulfilling three specific objectives — user-comfort, cost-effectiveness and real-life implementation. The system is designed for mass usage with the possible commercial service operation. A miniature prototype has been built with the proposed system to prove the idea and show its feasibility.
