Problem
Controlling home appliances manually can be inconvenient, especially for elderly or disabled individuals. Additionally, energy inefficiency occurs when devices are left on unintentionally.
Solution
The system uses NodeMCU (ESP8266) to connect appliances to Wi-Fi and allows users to control them wirelessly through a mobile interface or IoT dashboard. It helps users turn appliances ON/OFF, monitor device state, and automate usage patterns.
Features
- •Remote control of lights and fans via web or app UI
- •Built using NodeMCU (ESP8266) with Arduino code
- •Relay module integration to control high-voltage devices
- •Wi-Fi-based real-time communication
- •Basic sensor input for future automation (e.g. motion, temperature)
- •Low-cost and scalable for multiple rooms or appliances
