INTRODUCTION
With Home Automation, it has become a very useful concept in
the current era due to its focus on safety, security, energy
efficiency, and user comfort. This advanced system integrates an
Android smartphone, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, and a
relay circuit to efficiently manage home appliances. Using
wireless technology, the Android app provides an intuitive
interface for individual device control and monitoring.
Commands are sent via Wi-Fi to the relay circuit, which switches
devices ON/OFF based on user input, offering a highly
approachable and reliable smart home solution.
