IoT Based Smart Home using Blynk Framework

Abstract: The project discussed in this paper is targeted at solving sundry problems faced by Nepalese people in their daily life. It is designed to control and monitor appliances via smartphone using Wi-Fi as communication protocol and raspberry pi as private server. All the appliances and sensors are connected to the internet via NodeMcu microcontroller, which serves as the gateway to the internet. Even if the user goes offline, the system is designed to switch to automated state controlling the appliances automatically as per the sensors readings. Also, the data are logged on to the server for future data mining. The core system of this project is adopted from the Blynk framework.
