Android Application Based Smart Home Automation System Using Internet of Things

The smart home is now an established area of interest and research that contributes to comfort in modern homes. With the Internet being an essential part of broad communication in modern life, IoT has allowed homes to go beyond building to interactive abodes. In many spheres of human life, the IoT has grown exponentially, including monitoring ecological factors, controlling the home and its appliances, and storing data generated by devices in the house in the cloud. Smart home includes multiple components, technologies, and devices that generate valuable data for predicting home and environment activities. This work presents the design and development of a ubiquitous, cloud-based intelligent home automation system. The system controls, monitors, and oversees the security of a home and its environment via an Android mobile application. One module controls and monitors electrical appliances and environmental factors, while another module oversees the home’s security by detecting motion and capturing images. Our work uses a camera to capture images of objects triggered by their motion being detected. To avoid false alarms, we used the concept of machine learning to differentiate between images of regular home occupants and those of an intruder. The support vector machine algorithm is proposed in this study to classify the features of the image captured and determine if it is that of a regular home occupant or an intruder before sending an alarm to the user. The design of the mobile application allows a graphical display of the activities in the house. Our work proves that machine learning algorithms can improve home automation system functionality and enhance home security. The work’s prototype was implemented using an ESP8266 board, an ESP32-CAM board, a 5 V four-channel relay module, and sensors.

Electrical Loads

This Home Automation System is based on the ESP8266 wifi module. With the help of this project the electrical loads can be controlled using your android cell phone. For this project we have to connect ESP8266 Wi-fi module and cell phone with the same WIFI network. This project can be used at homes, offices, colleges, universities, and so on. For the Worldwide control system, we can use the Nodemcu ESP8266 Wifi Module. This system is very convenient and economical to use. Major components used in it are: esp8266 wifi modulerelays. With this internet of things we can control four home appliances from the Blynk app, we can also use manual switches to control the appliances with or without internet and we can also monitor real-time feedback. So this is very useful to make our devices smart .In this project we have used four channel relay. In this project we have controlled AC appliances like Lights etc. In this project we used IFTTT with the help of ifttt we can connect all of our apps and devices.
