Let Us Create Our Desktop IoT Soft-Switchboard Using AWS, ESP32 and C#

Abstract

Purpose: This paper provides the procedure for developing a desktop IoT soft switchboard using Amazon Web Services (AWS), ESP32, and C#. It provides a user-friendly interface enabling users to control various IoT devices in their homes and offices from a desktop computer. It leverages the capabilities of AWS, ESP32, and C# to create a scalable, secure, and reliable platform for developing IoT applications. C# is used to develop the user interface, making the system easy to use for end-users. The proposed system can be applied in various industries, including healthcare, smart homes, and manufacturing, where centralized control and management of multiple devices are required. It offers a practical and efficient way to enhance the user experience and enable efficient management and control of IoT devices. Design/Methodology/Approach: The first step is to set up the hardware components required for the project, ESP32, fan speed control, 5v relay, and power supply module. The next step involves developing the software components for the project. This includes setting up an AWS account and configuring the AWS cloud. The ESP32 development board must be programmed to communicate with the AWS cloud and control the IoT devices. The C# programming language is used to develop the desktop application. After the software and hardware components have been developed, testing and validation are essential to ensure the system works as expected. Findings/Result: The proposed system was tested and validated to ensure its functionality and practicality. The system could control various IoT devices from the desktop computer, including lights, fans, A.C., and night lamps. The practical experiments showed that the system is responsive and efficient in controlling IoT devices. Originality/Value: it provides a practical and efficient solution for controlling multiple IoT devices from a centralized system, enabling end-users to manage and control multiple devices through a user-friendly interface. The originality of the proposed system lies in its ability to control various IoT devices from a desktop computer, providing a comprehensive solution for controlling IoT devices from a centralized system. Paper Type: Experimental-based Research.
