This document discusses controlling home appliances with IoT, Blynk app, and Node MCU. It outlines the components required, including relays, Node MCU ESP8266, batteries, and LED bulbs. The software requirements of Blynk app and Arduino IDE are explained. Circuit diagrams and code are provided. How IoT works for home automation is described, along with advantages like remote control and energy efficiency. Applications include lighting control, home monitoring, and smart appliances. The conclusion is that home automation using IoT was experimentally proven to successfully control appliances remotely over the internet.
3. Introduction
Home Automations IOT
Home automation is
building automation for a
home, called a smart home
or smart house. A home
automation system will
control lighting, climate,
entertainment systems, and
appliances. It may also
include home security such
as access control and alarm
systems. When connected
with the Internet, home
devices are an important
constituent of the Internet
of Things ("IoT").
6. RELAY
Relay technology is also
promising in Internet of
Things (IoT) applications.
In IoT, relaying can have
many more functions in a
cellular network, such as
improving the topology of
the cellular network,
improving the robustness
of a network, and
decreasing power
consumption
7. NODE MCU: ESP8266
Node MCU is an open
source IoT platform. It
includes firmware which
runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi
SoC from Espressif
Systems, and hardware
which is based on the ESP-
12 module. The term
"Node MCU" by default
refers to the firmware
rather than the
development kits.
8. BATTERIES
A battery is a source of
electric power consisting of
one or more
electrochemical cells with
external connections for
powering electrical devices
such as flashlights, mobile
phones, and electric cars.
9. LED BULBS
Because LED lights are
naturally friendly to digital
controls (they include a
semiconductor to produce
light), they are perfectly
suited for IoT applications.
IoT LED lighting is the ideal
way to realize maximum
savings—and gain the
valuable operational
insights that can improve
all aspects of your building
management.
10. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT
BLYNK APP:
Blynk is a Platform with IOS
and Android apps to
control Arduino, Raspberry
Pi and the likes over the
Internet. It's a digital
dashboard where you can
build a graphic interface for
your project by simply
dragging and dropping
widgets
11. ANDROID SOFTWARE
The Arduino Integrated
Development Environment
is a cross-platform
application that is written
in functions from C and
C++. It is used to write and
upload programs to
Arduino compatible
boards, but also, with the
help of third-party cores,
other vendor development
boards.
16. ADVANTAGES
Managing all of your home devices from one place.
Flexibility for new devices and appliances
Maximizing home security
Remote control of home functions
Increased energy efficiency
Improved appliance functionality.
Home management insights
17. APPLICATIONS
Lighting control.
Home air quality and water quality monitoring.
Better infotainment delivery.
Improved home safety and security.
Smart home appliances.
Natural language-based voice assistants.
18. CONCLUSION
The home automation using Internet of Things has
been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by
connecting simple appliances to it and the appliances
were successfully controlled remotely through internet.
