Implementation of IoT-based Home Control and Monitoring System using Raspberry Pi and NodeMCUs

Abstract

This system aims at controlling home appliances via Smartphone using Wireless communication protocol (Wi-Fi, MQTT) and Raspberry Pi as server system and NodeMCUs as client nodes. The user here will move directly with the system through a web-based interface over the web, whereas home appliances like lights, fan and door lock are remotely controlled through browser. An extra feature that enhances the facet of protection from fireplace accidents is its capability of sleuthing the flame in order that within the event of fireplace, associates an alerting messages, g-mails and notifications are sent to users. The server will be interfaced with relay hardware circuits that control monitor the appliances running at home. This system made easier by implementing automation and security along with the Internet of Things to create a system which will enable someone to remotely monitor and control some areas of a house remotely and securely from anywhere with minimum cost.
