Abstract
The proposed Smart Home Automation System integrates IoT (Internet of Things or Web of Things)
to bring intelligence and convenience into the home environment. Leveraging IoT technology, the
system integrates various smart devices and sensors to automate household tasks such as lighting
control, fan control, and voice speech recogniton. The system allows users to remotely control and
monitor their home appliances and security systems via a smartphone offering real-time feedback and
control. At the heart of the system is a central microcontroller (Raspberry Pi), which connects to the
cloud and communicates with different smart devices using protocols like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The
system gathers environmental data using sensors (e.g., temperature, light, motion) and triggers specific
actions based on predefined user settings or real-time conditions. For instance, lights can be turned off
when no one is in the room, or the HVAC system can adjust temperature settings based on current
weather conditions. In addition to automating routine tasks, the system can enhance home security
through integrated motion detectors, smart locks, and cameras. It can notify homeowners of potential
security breaches and allow for remote monitoring of live video feeds. Energy efficiency is also a
critical feature, as the system optimizes electricity usage by regulating lights, heating, and cooling based
on occupancy or schedule, which helps reduce electricity costs and environmental impact. This project
demonstrates the feasibility of creating a smart home using IoT technologies and highlights the
potential for scalability as more devices are integrated into the system. Through the application of IoT,
this system not only improves comfort and convenience but also addresses growing concerns about
energy efficiency and home security.
