Abstract

Home automation has emerged as a pivotal aspect of contemporary smart living, propelled by innovations in wireless communication technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper introduces a home automation system that employs the ESP32 microcontroller alongside an Access Point (AP) to enable remote control and monitoring of various household devices. The ESP32, known for its robust and adaptable features, includes integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, acting as the central hub for managing connected devices such as lighting, fans, temperature sensors, and security systems. By incorporating an Access Point, the system facilitates smooth communication among devices and ensures secure, localized wireless control, thereby minimizing reliance on external cloud services and enhancing user privacy. Control of the system is achieved through an intuitive mobile application or a web interface, allowing for real-time monitoring and management of the home environment. Notable features of the proposed system encompass remote device management, sensor data collection, automated scheduling, and security notifications. This paper elaborates on the hardware and software architecture of the home automation system, the ESP32's role in promoting efficient communication, and the benefits of utilizing an Access Point for secure and localized network connectivity. Additionally, the paper explores the system's scalability for larger residences and the potential for incorporating further IoT devices. The proposed solution presents a cost-effective, dependable, and adaptable home automation platform suitable for a range of smart home applications.
