Abstract

Internet of things (IOT) imagines a world where every device at any place can be connected. Home Automation system is growing rapidly and now becoming the requirement of the modern world. IoT based Home Automation System is getting more important as it increases security, comfort and improves the quality of life. In this paper, we have proposed the details of how we can automate the home appliances using ARDUINO and REST API architecture. The result also shows how the use of ARDUINO and REST API architecture is beneficial as client/server communication in the field of the Internet of Things. In this paper, the REST API architecture is implemented practically, tested, and gave the accepted results for controlling home appliances. Home appliances such as TV, lighting, Water pump, Fans and etc were controlled from the web page that was created in the XAMPP platform as a client-side. The aim of this study is to develop a home automation system for controlling electronic appliances from a far range by using the Internet of things (IOT).
