Abstract: We live in an exciting time where more and more everyday items “things” are becoming smart! “Things” have sensors and can communicate with other “things” and can provide control to more “things”. The Internet of Things, IoT, is totally up to us people in a huge way and we are rapidly inventing new gadgets to enhance our lives. The prices of microcontrollers used in IoT devices with the ability to talk over a network keeps reducing and developers can now think and build things inexpensively. This IoT based home automation project is done using low-cost custom build Arduino UNO module, and Bluetooth module. A system that uses mobile app to control basic home functions and features automatically through mobile from anywhere in the house, an automated home is sometimes called a smart home. The home automation system differs from other IoT based systems by allowing a person or the user to operate the system from anywhere in the house through wireless connection without breaking any convention usability. This project provides significant electric power solution at homes and at the offices with help of dynamic control of electric equipments over the wireless network and using smart switch, and another is a low-cost touch screen panel. Project contains both hardware and software development where hardware program is built on Arduino IDE, whereas mobile application is built using MIT App Development.
