Eventia: Smart Home Automation & Security System

The accelerated growth of technology and the growing need for convenience have driven the innovation ofsmart home automation systems. This project discusses the implementation and design of an affordable,scalable, and efficient smart home automation system based on the ESP8266 microcontroller, Firebasereal-time database, and a cross-platform mobile app developed using React Native. The main goal is toimprove home convenience and energy management through remote control of various householdappliances, including lights, fans, and other electronic devices, along with real-time monitoring ofenvironmental parameters such as room temperature and humidity. The system utilizes the Internet ofThings (IoT) to facilitate smooth communication between the hardware and software elements so thatusers can interact with their home from any place in the world via a smartphone. The hardware installationconsists of the ESP8266 microcontroller that is joined together with a DHT11 temperature and humiditysensor and a relay module that enables the powering and switching off of different domestic appliances.The microcontroller communicates with Firebase, an Internet-based real-time database, which stores datathat is passed in and pulled out, thereby ensuring that the mobile application has all the devices andsensors synced.
