An IoT Based Home Automation System

Abstract

Abstract Industry experts, corporate heads, and chiefs of businesses all agree that we are on the verge of what is to be the Fourth Industrial Revolution – which will be more disrupting and impactful than any we’ve seen in the history of mankind. Automation is without a doubt, one of the pillars of this Industrial Revolution. Consumers worldwide prefer automated systems over manual ones. Today the Internet has become a part and parcel of daily life. We cannot imagine a life without the internet. In this paper we present to you an Automation System which is a real-world application of a fast- growing emerging Internet Technology, The Internet of Things (IoT). A Home Automation System, based on the IOT, makes the consumers life easier, more comfortable, faster and more secure. This cutting-edge technology allows the consumer to have complete control over his or her home appliances and devices from anywhere in the world, via a web browser with an internet connection. The simulation designed by us, in this paper, is a small approximation of a much larger real-world system, the concepts, approach and methodology however, remaining the same.
