Home switching using IoT system via telegram and web user interface

Abstract

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes ubiquitous in engineering field and is perceived as paradigms for applications such as a home automation system where data can be exchanged and shared easily across the Internet. This project focuses on the implementation of the home automation system with Telegram using Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) network access on any smart-phone and laptop devices. It is highly beneficial for elderly, physically-challenged people and travellers to control home appliances effortlessly. This system aims to solve the limitation faced by the technology used in the existing home automation system such as Bluetooth -distance issue, Global Standard for Mobile Communication (GSM) - cost issue and Zigbee - power and bandwidth constraint. In fact, this system provides an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) on both web and Telegram platform where data can be interchanged and synchronized between both GUI in which sensor’s readings and status of home appliances can be monitored and manipulated consistently. The analytical findings based on temperature sensor’s accuracy and system latency showed that the performance of the system is viable, and the system proved to be more prominent than other home automation systems.
