Smart lighting and switching using Internet of Things

Nowadays, everyone wants to have comfortable living conditions within the home. Comfort within the home can be divided into many ways. There are various categories like comfort with the household appliances, security systems, gardening, and other monitoring systems of the home. All these things can be monitored with sensors. To make a smart home, the household appliance needs to act on commands given by the user via any mobile device or voice commands. Automation before introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) was done using radio frequency (RF), machine learning. However, IoT is cost effective, easy to implement and can control devices from any location which cannot be achieved through RF based and other automation technique. Therefore, This paper elaborate live IoT based working model for sensing and monitoring of smart lighting and switching.
