With the aid of cutting-edge technology that makes life easier and more accessible, the world has changed through time to become a better place. With home automation, a number of the home’s components may be controlled remotely. The primary goal of building a wireless, low-cost home automation smart control system was to provide the security, reduce power consumption and enable automated control from a distance. Home automation is a useful concept and offers a number of advantages, including improved comfort and quality of life as well as security in every house by enabling users to manage electrical devices with their fingers within its range. It makes use of the microcontroller, and Wi-Fi is utilized for connection with the application. The paper is exploring the cloud connectivity with embedded board to perform the home automation system along with security based on the basic protocols of IOT. This manuscript proposed a home automation system for intelligent lighting, gas detection, plant watering system, water tank monitoring and password-based home security system. Developed system includes ready-to-deploy software and real-time HTTP and MQTT protocols monitoring through smartphones or PCs.
