Project Details
The Smart Home IoT System is a comprehensive home automation solution that connects and controls various smart devices through a central hub. This system enables users to monitor and manage their home environment for improved comfort, energy efficiency, and security.
Key Features
- Centralized control of multiple home systems (HVAC, lighting, security, etc.)
- Climate control with smart air conditioners, fans, heaters, and humidifiers
- Remote access and control via mobile application
- Automated scheduling and scene creation
- Real-time monitoring with integrated sensors
- Energy usage tracking and optimization
- Cloud connectivity for data storage and advanced analytics
- Voice control integration with popular smart assistants
Technical Implementation
The system is built around ESP32 microcontrollers that serve as the bridge between various smart devices and the central hub. These microcontrollers are programmed using Arduino and communicate with the central system via MQTT protocol, ensuring reliable and efficient message passing.
The mobile application is developed with React Native, providing a cross-platform solution for both iOS and Android users. The backend is powered by Node.js, which handles device communication, user authentication, and data processing. Firebase is used for real-time database functionality, push notifications, and user management.
The system employs a modular architecture that allows for easy expansion and integration of new devices and services. Security is implemented at multiple levels, including encrypted communication, secure authentication, and regular security updates to protect user privacy and home safety.
