Home Automation using IoT with Raspberry Pi

The purpose of the project is to develop a Smart Home system based empowered by networking technology, single board computer Raspberry Pi and Android Phone, laptop etc. The proposed Smart Home system is restricted do image transmission for home surveillance. Image from camera is collected by the dropbox server is send wirelessly. The Raspberry Pi will transmit data using WLAN. Home automation provides the automatic control of home appliances also monitor home to provide safety from intruder. Raspberry Pi is used as main part of project. This will enable smartphone access the RPi trough web browser application. Remote communication from user is carried out through cloud storage server. The cloud storage (Dropbox) has been synchronizing with the data base in Raspberry Pi. The image transfer successfully done for home surveillance application. The project can be further extended for include more application including power control and monitoring, emergency alert and health monitoring.
