Portable Time Governing Switch Box Using Internet of Things

In today's world, with the help of rapid technological advancement, we can easily control the home appliances at our fingertips with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). It plays a vital role in emerging technological development. Generally, most people will forget to turn off their household appliances regularly. For example, devices like a mobile charger, laptop charger, radio, table fan, computer, television, etc. This will result in unnecessary energy consumption and a decline in device efficiency. One of the main issues is that the standard IoT devices available in the market are bulky and expensive. They are not easily afforded by normal people. This article proposes a portable IOT home automation device to control the on-time, off-time, and working duration of the devices that can be controlled with the help of the internet. A web connection is established between the microcontroller & web server and the real-time database. Google Firebase is used as the database to store and retrieve data. The connected devices can be controlled from any place through mobile phones with the help of the internet. The major value proportions of our project are portability, user-friendly and easy affordability.
