NOVEL SMART HOME SOLUTION

COMPUTER ENGINEERING

: The market is flooded with smart home appliances. You can control them remotely through the internet. They make your life easy and convenient. People are throwing their supposedly dumb appliances into garbage to replace them with smart appliances. This is detrimental to the environment and your savings. Due to above reasons we plan to make our existing home appliances smart.We plan to do this by developing a device which would be able to control home appliances remotely. The device would be able to do that through IR (Infrared). The device would include a microcontroller such as Adruino, a Wi-Fi module, and an IR diode. The device would be connected to the internet and will be placed in the line of site of the home appliance to control such as AC, TV, Music System, etc. Through the phone app a person could control the home appliances remotely, through time triggers (such as at 6am, switching on the music system), or through location triggers (such as within 2km range of the house, turning on the AC), etc. This will help save costs and extend the life of current devices and thus help protect the environment as well.
