Abstract

In recent time, internet has revolutionized the whole technology. It is acting as a backbone for the information technology. Subsequently, IoT has seen considerable development as internet became more common. Similarly, research is being carried out to make IoT applications more user friendly especially in web based and android technologies. Internet of thing gives an extensive control by enabling to control remotely the switching of electronics devices such as fan, water pump, cameras, TV etc. In this paper, an IoT based home automation system for remotely controlling the home equipment’s is proposed. We are using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa to control and monitor the electrical appliances with voice command through internet which gives more space for controlling electrical appliances. In automations, things are automatically controlled usually the basic tasks of turning ON/OFF of devices. Here we can not only turn on/off basic devices but can also regulate the speed of fan by setting it at i.e. 30%, 60 and 100%. This makes our IoT based system more intelligent to control electronic devices both from within the home and outside the home as long as internet is available. This will help to reduce the wastage of electricity and save human energy.
