 Introduction
Human creatures are exceptionally sluggish animals, we need to do all of our work by fair sitting
at a one put and not bothering to go out and socialize. Rising innovation has on the other hand
is attempting its best to satisfy our request by ordinary presenting something modern. One of
the developing and curiously field is Internet of Things. Under Internet of Things we have a little
space called Home Automation in which center is on mechanizing nearly each gadget of our
homes. We are able to make our claim security system just by utilizing sensors and doing a few
code. Ready to control the gadgets wirelessly by using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi module. It is all
approximately interfacing out gadgets within the organized way ready to control nearly
anything from anyplace. Boundless sum of sensors are accessible within the advertise and our
assignment is as it were to profoundly get it working and execute them in different zones of
concern. One of the cases is of water level sensor, able to utilize it in our water tanks to degree
the level of water and naturally the engine will be turned off when the level surpasses a few
limit value. Need to robotize the device can come to any of us but we don't have enough of the
knowledge of how to do the things. So the ought to think about the essential concepts of Web
of Things are imperative. We are able get different thoughts related to the advancement by
continually looking over the individuals by emails or sms etc. Nowadays Web of Things is an
critical portion of development where steady inquires about are going on and in Domestic
robotization regular something unused is being produced.
In our extend we'll be testing some of the fundamental sensors and after that attempt to
control a few of the gadgets utilizing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module. Major issue presently a days
is the issue of security. With later occasions like Facebook Cambridge analytica case, protection
of clients is getting to be of extraordinary concern to the state specialists in position.
Information from a few websites and the information put away on different clouds too has an
issue of privacy due to expanding number of cyber-attacks and expanding cases of information
being stolen without the assent of the client. Information from a few servers is being stolen and
sold to huge corporate so that they seem effectively target their gathering of people and make
cash out of it.
Major economies of the world like Europe, Joined together States Of America, China and
numerous other nations have exceptionally strict information assurance laws like Europe has
Common Information Security Regulation(GDPR) beneath which client has the choice with
whom he/she needs to share its data additionally has the proper to be forgotten. There are a
few sorts of gadgets controlled through domestic mechanization which are: Individual Control

Methodology
In this part we discuss the methods used to make this project a success. We faced a lot of challenges
whilst making this project. We started our project first by selecting the suitable components for it. The
best option for IOT based home automation was to use NodeMCu esp 8266 because it saves a lot of
time and work. It has a built in esp 8266 wifi module in it. We just have to program it through our
software to turn it on. No need to buy a separate Arduino and a wifi module. Then we purchased a six
channel relay module due to number of appliances that needed to be switched on without any
interference. After having the NodeMcu esp 8266 and six channel relay module we take four lights and
their holders, a fan and some street lights or LEDs. First we try to make our project on a simple
breadboard for testing purposes. We make the suitable connections on breadboard with NodeMcu esp
8266 and relay module by using a number of jumper wires. After making the connections we connect
our relay module with the switch board, lights, LEDs and fan. Then we use our software called Arduino
for the programming purposes. In addition, we successfully turn on our modules by giving it the
necessary coding and programming and then we connect our module with the blynk app to control our
appliances through a single touch. However, we did face some problems while programming our module
through Arduino software and we also faced some problems while connecting our module to the Blynk
app.
