IDEA / APPROACH DETAILS
This project is designed to enhance the convenience of managing home appliances using IoT technology. It
provides a user-friendly and efficient interface that allows seamless control of devices through both mobile
applications and chat-based commands.
The appliances that could be controlled are: lights, fans, TV, AC, door lock, curtains
•Unified Device Control: Every appliance in the system can be managed through a single interface—whether
it's lighting, fans, or other household devices. This centralization simplifies control and eliminates the need for
multiple remote apps.
•Mobile and Chat Integration: The system allows users to control appliances via a mobile application or chat-
based control system. Whether you're using application or typing, your appliances are just a message away.
•Timer Feature: You can set timers for appliances, ensuring they turn off after a designated period, providing
energy efficiency and peace of mind.
•Custom Automation: Users can create custom schedules and automation routines for multiple devices,
helping streamline daily tasks like turning on lights at sunset.
•Real-Time Monitoring: Stay updated with real-time status updates of your appliances. You’ll know if devices
are on or off, and track the duration of their operation.
•Collaboration & Family Access: Multiple users can have access to control the same home setup, allowing
family members to manage appliances and make adjustments easily.
•Templates for Quick Setup: Pre-built automation templates make it easy to get started, whether you're
automating lights or setting up a full-home routine.
•Data Tracking graphs: The system tracks how long devices are on, providing graphs into usage patterns to
optimize appliance control.

FUTURE SCOPE
1. Voice Assistant Compatibility::
Integrating with popular voice assistant would enable seamless, hands-free control of home
devices.
2. Development of more utility appliances:
Appliances such as voice based control devices (a dedicated device like alexa, google
home) could be developed to control and monitor the appliances using voice commands.
3. Advanced Security Features::
Incorporating biometric security (such as facial recognition or fingerprint sensors) would
improve home security.
Sensors could sense unusual activities and send alerts for unusual activity, enhancing
safety.
Organized by:
DEPENDENCIES / SHOW STOPPER
• Difficulty to integrate different hardware devices:
It would be difficult to integrate different hardware into a single automation ecosystem.
• Inaccuracy of AI models:
AI models make mistakes. These mistakes degrade the reliability of the chat based
appliance control system.
• Security threats:
Features such as home lock automation are prone to hacking. To overcome such
problems, proper encryption technology should be used.
