Home Automation System using Internet of Things (IOT)

Abstract

The aim is to create a home automation system that performs all basic functions of a virtual assistant like telling the time, date, temperature and also controlling the electrical appliances that it is connected to. The entire system is aimed to be voice operated so that there is no need to type anything at all. Apart from the voice operated commands, the system will also take the help of certain sensors to provide automation to certain appliances. The main objective that has to be kept in mind for this work is that it is developed for making everyday life of a user easy. Getting things done without actually having to make an effort to do it is the main motto. Apart from this, the system also aims to provide for efficient utilization of electricity. This is achieved by the use of IOT technology and appliances like lights turn off without any explicit command by the user.
