Smart Home - Simple journey on IoT

       I have developed the weekend hobby project called Smart Home, It can control and monitor the various home appliances. In this blog, I am going to share my experience of this project.

Features of Smart Home

       At this moment, Smart Home system contains the following features. 
  • Water tank monitoring
  • Current Monitoring
  • Web based controller for TV,Fan, Light
  • Voice based controller for TV,Fan,Light
  • Light level monitoring
In future I have a plan to enhance the project with much more features,

Things used in this project

Hardware

  • Raspberry PI 3
  • Arduino
  • ESP 8266
  • HC- SR04 Ultra Sonic Sensor
  • WiFi Router
  • ACS 712 Current sensor
  • Relay
  • LDR

Software

  • Rasbian OS
  • Node Red
  • Mosquitto MQTT Broker
  • Android Application

Project Architecture

Project Architecture diagram can be available in the post Smart Home architecture

Node Red Installation in Android Mobile

What is Node Red ? Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices. Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes. Node-RED is built on Node.js, taking full advantage of its event-driven, non-blocking model. This makes it ideal to run at the edge of the network on low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi. Node red also can be run in the Android mobile without root. How to run Node Red in Android ? Node Red can be installed in Android mobile with the help of Termux . What is Termux ? Termux is an  Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app  that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager. Termux Installation Termux application can be easily installed from Google Play store Open the Termux application which will be looks like a Linux terminal. ...

MQTT Broker for Android Mobile

MQTT Broker      MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol. It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is useful for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium. MQTT Broker for Android Mobile     After the long search I could not find any working android application for running MQTT broker in my mobile, so I decided to make it myself. In this post I am going to show you how the MQTT broker can be written for Android. Moquette for Android     Finally I found the Moquette based  GitHub  fork for the android application. I decided to create simple (very simple... Even there is no UI  😼 ) application on top of Moquette using the above GitHub project. Thanks to  andsel  (Contributor of this GitHub) Steps  Download the Project from GitHub Create the new A...
