Smart Residence Incorporating with Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

With the advent of technologies and along with the progress of Internet-based information society, the rapid growth of the automation system has been evolved around us. Internet of Things (IoT) is most spelt ones. In this paper, IoT is applied in the automation of home appliances at a low cost. This smart residence is based on Arduino with the necessary interface to enable Internet and the control of power through an Ethernet shield with relay shield, and the project consumed more real-life interactions along with embedded software solutions. The proposed system does not need any physical presence to control the electrical appliances of home. Smart residence can be controlled by a mobile app or any modern web browsers. The home appliances connected with the electric switch can be turned on/off remotely. The users also can check the status of the home appliances, whether turn on/off. The proposed system also able to report the current state of temperature, humidity, and light intensity of the room. In future, such a system will be enhanced further to incorporate intelligence in the system.
