Real-time automation system using Arduino

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of physical objects, devices, vehicles and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to gather and exchange data. For example, in educational organizations, we require additional labor to do jobs such as turn on & off the lights, fans in the laboratories. In some cases, the students may forget to switch off the electrical components like fans, AC and lights in their classrooms. As we take the institution as our scenario, there comes the need of more labors to complete the tasks. And there occurs the wastage of power supply and additional labor cost. To overcome these problems, we are automating the whole system through IoT system. This system can save the energy by efficient power management system of a room which employs certain mechanisms managed by a Microcontroller. This system serves us to control the environment, power and the security management. To provide a better security, the user is provided with live stream from several IP cameras. This paper helps the user to control the system from anywhere at any time from a single terminal through the internet which can be done at a reasonable cost.
