Remote Monitoring and Controlling of Household Devices Using IoT

The development in any field is the way to success. IoT is one of the ways to develop things in our day-to-day life which directly or indirectly helps in automation and energy conservation. IoT get connected to the devices through a sensor which helps in making things easy to work. This paper represents the remote controlling of the devices using IoT. In this paper, the luminaries are controlled remotely with the presence and absence of human beings. Additionally, the speed control of the fan is achieved as per the atmospheric conditions like humidity and temperature automatically through sensor. Controlling and monitoring the electric devices gets easier when connected to IoT. A microcontroller, sensor, relay and electronic devices are connected together to get the IoT work. ESP8266 microcontroller is used to connect the devices to Internet through Wi-Fi which provides data to and from cloud. Relays are used to receive data from cloud and sensors are used to send data to the cloud. These developed IoT devices help to improve the lifestyle and manage the use of electricity in daily life. The IoT and cloud can help to keep the record of daily electricity use for analysis and conservation purpose. The hardware has been developed successfully and the mobile app is used by connecting it to the microcontroller and adding conditions accordingly for the remote monitoring of the said devices at home. These devices can be controlled from anywhere through the mobile application. It is working satisfactorily and energy conservation is also possible due to automation.
