Abstract : The world is rapidly changing and adopting automation systems in various fields. Home Automation is one of the fields that is working for improving the quality of life and performing house chores in an automated way using IoT. Many home automation systems have been proposed and developed by various researchers based on different hardware and software technologies. And, improvement is still in process to make these systems more economical and easy to access. This work has focused on developing a Home Automation System which can be accessed over the internet using software from anywhere and control various home appliances connected with a centralized Wi-Fi server. This IoT-based system has been designed using NodeMCU over a Wi-Fi network, that can control and monitor various home appliances and sensors. Programming is performed in Arduino IDE and Flask Framework is implied to connect with a server. This system would not only replace the conventional wall switches but also be helpful to save electricity and reduce cost with a webbased remote control application.
