Abstract

The technology development is paving way for the automation to be made to the existing machines leading to the new technology called Internet of Things. Things get connected with each other over Internet that reduces human workload. The home is built with electrical devices for comfortable living style. But, the devices are operated manually in the home. The devices are in running state even users left the home with unaware of the electrical devices status. Hence, users should come back to the home to stop the devices. It leads to wastage of human energy, electrical energy and devices life time. This paper is proposed to implement the smart home automation that controls the devices such as fan, lamp and motor from remote location over the network. The experiments have been conducted to implement the automation using Arduino Uno controller that interfaces Ethernet shield and operates the devices using web, android applications through smart phone, laptop. This research work is proposed to reduce human workload and reduce the electricity consumption.
