Smart Wifi Home Automation System Using Smartphone and Notification Via Telegram

Abstract

Home automation system has been in use for decades, but it remains a niche product for high-end consumers due to the project's costing and budgeting. Security is one of the significant factors that prevent the Smart Home Automation System from being implemented. The hectic daily life routine sometimes makes us forget to switch off the devices at home. The clumsiness attitude, combined with our hectic daily routine, causes us to be in such a hurry that we forget to turn off the lights and fans. It will result in a significant increase in the electricity bill. Besides, it is one of the electricity wastes that will lead to the earth's degeneration into an unhealthy environment. The project's strength is the ability to use a smartphone to control home devices such as a lamp and a fan. The system is related to home appliances using NodeMCU. Home appliances can help the user to control the devices at home and improving home security systems. Telegram application is the main software that is being used in this project. It is used as a platform to give the command. Compared to another project that uses a laptop, this project uses a smartphone to give commands, which is much more convenient for users.
