Design a Smart Home Automation Using Arduino and IoT Protocol
Introduction
The rise of smart technologies has transformed the way we interact with our homes...
Components Used
1. Arduino UNO - Microcontroller to control and manage the system
2. ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module - Provides internet connectivity
3. Relay Module - Controls high-voltage devices like lights and fans
4. Sensors (Temperature, Motion) - Detect environmental conditions and movement
5. LEDs - Represent lights for testing
6. Smartphone - To monitor and control devices remotely through a mobile app
7. Jumper Wires - For making connections
8. Power Supply (5V/12V) - Powers Arduino and connected modules
9. Resistors - For protection and managing current
10. Breadboard - For prototyping the circuit
Algorithm
1. Start the system.
2. Initialize Arduino, sensors, and Wi-Fi module.
3. Connect to Wi-Fi network using ESP8266.
4. Wait for commands via MQTT.
5. Read sensor data.
6. Execute control based on received commands.
7. Update status.
8. Repeat the loop.
9. End.
