IOT Home Automation Using Raspberry Pi
Internet of things is a technology of the future that has
already started to touch our homes. Here we propose
an IOT based home automation system using raspberry
pi that automates home appliances and allows user to
control them easily through internet from anywhere
over the world.
Our proposed system consists of a microcontroller
based circuit that has lights and fan connected to it
along with LCD display and Wifi connector interfaced
with raspberry pi. Our system interacts with out online
IOT system that IOT Gecko free web interface for
controlling our home appliances with ease. After linking
with IOT Gecko, the user is allowed to send load
switching commands over IOT to our circuit.
The circuit receives the commands over IOT by
connecting to internet using wifi connector and then the
raspberry processor processes these commands. After
this the processor now processes these instructions to
get user commands. It then displays these on an LCD
display. Also it operates the loads (lights and fan) for
switch them on/off according to desired user
commands. Thus we automate home appliances over
internet using raspberry pi.
