INTRODUCTION
Internet of Things (IoT) is part of the internet
that envisions all objects around us. IoT has a
very wide and includes variety of objects like
electronics product i.e. smart phones, tablets,
digital cameras and sensors. [4]The growth of
the Internet of Things will reform a number of
sectors, like healthcare, automation, energy,
transportation, etc. The cloud computing can be
used in such case to implement the IoT
infrastructure that augmented with sensors and
actuators to monitor and control “things” from
anywhere [6] Although automation today is not
a new thing, but most advanced home
automation systems in existence today require a
big and expensive change of infrastructure [3].

Blynkk/Blynk Server

Figure 2. Blynk Application Diagram
The graphical interfaces in smart phones and
tablets are designed in the form of android and
iOS applications by putting buttons, graph-
plotter, LCD and sensor-value display. The user
can simply download the app, log in and then
monitor and control her entire home appliances
[1] The user can do so by using the blynk app as
it provides the controlling functionality from a
remote place. [8] In proposed approach first
discuss about the hardware component, software
application and online service [4]
Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps
to control Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi and
the likes over the Internet.
You can easily build graphic interfaces for all
your projects by simply dragging and dropping
widgets. If you need more information, please

Blynk Server is an Open-Source Netty based
Java server, responsible for forwarding
messages between Blynk mobile application and
various microcontroller boards and SBCs (i.e.
Arduino, Raspberry Pi. etc).[9]

NodeMCU

NodeMCU is an open source IoT stage. It

incorporates firmware which keeps running on
the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif
Systems, and equipment which depends on the
ESP-12 module. The expression "NodeMCU" as
a matter of course alludes to the firmware
instead of the dev packs. The firmware utilizes
the Lua scripting dialect. It depends on the eLua
extend, and based on the Espressif Non-OS SDK
for ESP8266. It utilizes many open source
ventures, for example, lua-cjson, and spiffs.[10]

CONCLUSIONS
This research was conducted to design and
improve the standard living at home with low
cost, to control various home applications and
provide secure, ubiquitously accessible, auto-
configurable, remotely controlled solution [3]
The planed aims at home automation system
have been accomplished. Where system
designed and architecture had been discussed,
and basic level of home appliance control
prototype had been presented with implementing
remote monitoring. [3]
The loads are operated by IOT board through
Relay Module. [4] By using that technology is
advancing so houses are also getting smarter and
faster and also involving remote controlled
switches. [4] and The core system of this project
is adopted from the Blynk framework[1].
