IoT based home automation using raspberry Pi

Abstract

Availability of high speed mobile networks like 3G, 4G and Long Term Evolution coupled with cheaper and accessible smart phones, mobile industry has seen a tremendous growth in terms of providing various services and applications at the fingertips of the citizens. This paper discusses about IoT and it can be used for realizing smart home automation using Raspberry Pi.This system consists of a smart phone along with webpage which is having the home appliances details with ON and OFF conditions. Smart phone is connecting with Raspberry Pi using the IP address of Raspberry Pi through Wi-Fi. The wireless application is user friendly improves efficiency and lifestyle. The system successfully overcomes the drawbacks in Bluetooth and ZIGBEE technology.Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising technologies which can be used for connecting, controlling and managing intelligent objects which are connected to Internet through an IP address. Applications ranging from smart governance, smart education, smart agriculture, smart healthcare, smart home etc. can use IoT for effective delivery of services without manual intervention in a more effective manner.
