A Low Cost Home Automation System Using Wi-Fi Based Wireless Sensor Network Incorporating Internet of Things (IoT)

With the rapid increase in usage and reliance on the vivid features of smart devices, the need for interconnecting them is genuine. Many existing systems have ventured into the sphere of Home Automation but have apparently failed to provide cost-effective solutions for the same. This paper illustrates a methodology to provide a low cost Home Automation System (HAS) using Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). This crystallizes the concept of internetworking of smart devices. A Wi-Fi based Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is designed for the purpose of monitoring and controlling environmental, safety and electrical parameters of a smart interconnected home. The user can exercise seamless control over the devices in a smart home via the Android application based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a smartphone. The overall cost of large scale implementation of this system is about INR 6000 or USD 100.
