Abstract:
The comfort of human in home can be categorized under several types. Among
these categories, the most significant ones are the thermal comfort, which is related to
ambient temperature and humidity, followed by the visual comfort, related to room’s colors
and lightning, and hygienic comfort, associated with air quality. All these conditions can be
monitored within the acceptable range using home automation system. Automation can be
accomplished using the Internet of Things (IoT). This gives the inhabitant accesses to
certain data in the house and the ability to control some parameters remotely. This paper
presents the complete design of an IoT based sensing and monitoring system for a smart
home automation. This system use NodeMCU-ESP8266 microcontroller board for wireless
communication, to provide the user with remote control of various appliances within their
home and to store the data in the server.
