Designed, Implemented and Simulated an IoT based Home Automation System(HMS), using NodeMCU, which is an open source IoT platform, thereby enabling full control of all the loads in the system from anywhere in the world, via a public web application, with an internet connection.
Home Automation gives us access to control devices in our homes from a mobile device anywhere on Planet Earth. The term may be used for individual programmable gadgets, like thermostats and sprinklers, but “home automation” more accurately is associated with homes in which almost everything – from lights, fans to electrical outlets to heating, cooling and ventilation systems – are connected to a remotely controllable network. From a home safety outlook, this may also include any alarm systems, all the doors, windows, locks, smoke sensors, surveillance cameras and any other sensor, that may be attached to it.
The beauty of an automation system is its ability to tie diverse electronic devices together so they can perform as one unified system. Getting these devices to work cohesively can be simple or complex, depending on the “openness” of the automation system. The more open a system is, the easier it will be for the lights, thermostats, audio/video equipment, security devices, motorized shades and other electronics to communicate with each other.
The way you live in your home five years from now will probably be much different than the way you live in your home today. Moreover, technology will continue to evolve, introducing a completely new generation of products to the marketplace. In the future, you may also want to add new rooms—like a recently finished basement or an addition off the back—to your automation network.
Automation is all about being able to control things in your home. Manufacturers can support vertical and horizontal expandability by designing their systems to speak a common network language, like IP (Internet Protocol), and by offering wireless retrofittable products that can communicate via a home’s existing network of wired products.
Everyone always wonders what happens to an automated house when the power goes out. Does the system forget how to operate the lights when power is restored? If an automation system has the appropriate back-up protection, you won’t have to worry about that.
