ABSTRACT Automation is becoming popular due to its numerous benefits. Smart online switching refers to the control of home appliances and domestic features by local networking or data (Internet). Artificial Intelligence provides us the framework to go real-time decision and automation for Internet of Things (IoT).The work deals with discussion about different intelligent home automation systems and technologies from a various features standpoint. The work focuses on concept of home automation where the monitoring and control operations are facilitating through smart devices installed in residential buildings. Heterogeneous home-automation systems and technologies considered in review with central controller based (Arduino or Raspberry pi), web based, email based, Bluetooth-based, mobile-based, SMS based, ZigBee based, Dual Tone Multi Frequency-based, cloud-based and the Internet with performance. This project presents the overall design of Electronic Appliance Automation System (EAAS) with low cost and wireless system. This system is designed to assist and provide support in order to eradicate or reduce the daily movement in the due course of switching on and off electrical appliances in homes, office, industries. Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard living at home. The switch mode and voice mode are used to control the home appliances. The main control system implements wireless technology to provide remote access from smart phone. The design remains the existing electrical switches and provides more safety control on the switches with low voltage activating method. The switches status is synchronized in all the control system whereby every user interface indicates the real time existing switches status. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in house with relatively low cost design, userfriendly interface and ease of installation.
