Abstract
The technology development is paving way for the automation to be made to the existing machines
leading to the new technology called Internet of Things. Things get connected with each other over
Internet that reduces human workload. The home is built with electrical devices for comfortable
living style. But, the devices are operated manually in the home. The devices are in running state
even users left the home with unaware of the electrical devices status. Hence, users should come
back to the home to stop the devices. It leads to wastage of human energy, electrical energy and
devices life time. This paper is proposed to implement the smart home automation that controls the
devices such as fan, lamp and motor from remote location over the network. The experiments have
been conducted to implement the automation using Arduino Uno controller that interfaces Ethernet
shield and operates the devices using web, android applications through smart phone, laptop. This
research work is proposed to reduce human workload and reduce the electricity consumption.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Smart home, Arduino, Energy, Sensors.
