EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SMART HOME AUTOMATION

Abstract

Smart home automation has emerged as a transformative solution for improving comfort, energy efficiency, and security in residential environments. This research paper presents the design and implementation of an embedded system–based smart home automation framework that integrates sensors, actuators, and wireless communication technologies. The proposed system enables real-time monitoring and control of household appliances through a centralized embedded controller. Microcontroller-based architecture ensures low power consumption, cost effectiveness, and scalability. Various sensors are deployed to collect environmental data such as temperature, motion, and light intensity. The system supports remote access through IoTenabled interfaces, enhancing user convenience and safety. Experimental results demonstrate reliable operation, reduced energy usage, and fast response times. The proposed model is suitable for modern smart homes and can be extended to larger automation systems
