Home Automation System
About Project
The Home Automation System is an IoT-based solution designed for the ESP8266 microcontroller using the Arduino framework. The system enables the automation of home devices, allowing remote control through the Blynk mobile app. Notably, it incorporates Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates for the microcontroller, enhancing flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Tech Stack
- Microcontroller :ESP8266
- Programming Framework :Arduino
- Communication and Control :Blynk mobile app
- Time Synchronization :Network Time Protocol (NTP)
- Over-the-Air Updates :ArduinoOTA
- Wi-Fi Connectivity :ESP8266WiFi, ESP8266mDNS, WiFiUdp
- Libraries :NTPClient, BlynkSimpleEsp8266, ESP8266HTTPClient
Key Features
- The system allows users to remotely control and synchronize home devices through the Blynk mobile app, providing convenience and accessibility.
- The system checks the current time and, if outside a specified range (e.g., nighttime), automatically turns off all devices, offering schedule-based automation.
- Users can easily set up and configure the system by updating variables for Wi-Fi, Blynk authentication, OTA settings, device network configuration, and time zone.
