Due of its many advantages, home automation is a subject that is gaining popularity.
Household automation may be achieved by simply connecting electrical home
appliances to the internet or cloud storage. The rise in popularity of network-
connected home automation can be attributed to how easy and economical it has
recently become. People may connect to the things around them using platforms
based on cloud computing, which makes it easy to access everything at any time and
from anywhere with a user-friendly interface via portals that have been specifically
designed for that purpose. The cloud acts as a gateway to the Internet of Things as a
result. We anticipate a system that can operate appliances through a wireless network
or using a cloud-based system. The goal of this project is to build an Internet of
Things (IoT)-based home automation system that gives the user total control over all
remotely controlled household appliances. A packet PC running a Windows mobile
application, a central host PC, and the internet will all be able to control the
automation system.

The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and sugar cube relays were included into the project to
provide remote or wireless device control. Here, we employ hotspot settings to
accomplish our project's objectives. First, we build a hotspot channel to link other
devices, including the ESP8266. The other devices can then connect when the proper
IP address is configured, which is produced by the programme "Arduino.ide". Keep
in mind that the IP will remain constant since the ESP module technology is reliable.
To guard against back EMF damage caused by the relay's internal coil, diodes are
used in the circuitry of these sugar cube relay setups.

In addition to a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text terminal, a toolbar
with buttons for frequently used operations, and a number of menus, the Arduino
Integrated Development Environment, sometimes known as the Arduino Software
(IDE), is also available. To upload programmes and communicate with the Arduino
and Genuino hardware, a connection is made. Sketches are computer programmes
created using the Arduino Software (IDE). Figure 6 depicts these drawings, which
were created in a text editor and saved with the .ino file suffix. The editor has text-
searching and text-replacement tools from National Conference of Communication
systems and Advance Computing. When saving and exporting, the message section
provides feedback and shows errors. The Arduino Software's (IDE) text output is
shown on the console, along with detailed error warnings.
The data from the sensor is provided to the web server for system monitoring upon a
successful connection to the server. Figure 4 depicts the web server page that will
enable us to keep an eye on and manage the system. This web server page will show
when the specified IP address is typed into the web browser. The web server provides
information about the house's motion condition and various locations' temperatures.
Additionally, it displays the state of the numerous electrical devices that we may
remotely operate, such as lights and fans.

There are several limitations to it like Replacing humans is dangerous May take time
and learning, Security concerns, Vulnerable to attacks, Most of the times range is
restricted, High dependency on sensor devices which makes the system vulnerable if
sensor fails.
