Development of Smart Home System to Controlling and Monitoring Electronic Devices using Microcontroller

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to build Smart Home system using a microcontroller for controlling and monitoring electronic devices. There are 4 stages of building the system, it starts from Information gathering to generate user specification requirements, followed by assembling hardware, developing software, and system testing using blackbox testing and user acceptance test. The built system utilizes Microcontroller that equipped with Wifi module so the user can use the system to monitor usage of electronic devices that exist in their home and also can control the electrical appLiance via the internet. Based on the results of system testing, Smart home system to control and monitor electronic devices using the microcontroller. More than 80% of user agreed that this system can reduce the power consumption and save time used by homeowners to check electronic devices before doing an activity outside the home. With this system users no longer feel worried about the status of their electronic Devices while doing activities outside the home.
