INTERNET OF THINGS BASED HOME AUTOMATION LIGHTING SYSTEM

Nowadays, people tend to forget switching OFF their appliances especially heavy load at home causing their electricity bill to raise drastically. As automation technology keeps advancing, the future of modern homes is continually changing from manual system into automatic ones that include remote control process. A Conventional means of accessing home electronic appliances is rigid and demands user presence to attend to different locations of such appliances before they can be used, this can be stressful for the elderly, the cripples, and provides limited ease of operation for everyone. The need for wireless communication function of the home appliances becomes very important in order to increase the flexibility of accessing them remotely by a user. Additionally, in this current era toward the development of technologies, most of people are getting addicted to automatic devices which they believe can transform and ease their life especially in work. Internet of Things (IoT) manage to fulfil these criteria and give people a better quality of life. In this project, Internet of Things Based Smart Home lighting System Using ESP32 Microcontroller is built to ease people specially in helping disable people. Accessing and control of electronic devices and appliances used at home through a remote process is the main purpose for the development of a portable home automation system using app that is based on a mobile device. The project uses IoT remote application server and ESP32 to control ON and OFF of electrical appliances such as light.
