Abstract
This abstract outlines a cutting-edge Solar Powered Smart Home (IoTSH) design that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance energy efficiency and home automation. The system incorporates key components such as a Solar Panel, ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module, Voltage Sensor, and ACS712 Current Sensor to create an intelligent and sustainable living environment. The IoTSH employs a Solar Panel to harness solar energy, enabling the generation of clean and renewable power. The ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module facilitates seamless connectivity, enabling real-time communication and control over the smart home system via the internet. Voltage and ACS712 Current Sensors are utilized to gather real-time data on the electrical parameters of the solar power system. The Voltage Sensor ensures optimal charging and discharging of the solar panels, while the ACS712 Current Sensor provides precise information on power consumption, contributing to efficient energy management. The system's IoT architecture allows for intelligent automation and control of various devices within the smart home. Users can remotely adjust lighting, temperature, and other smart appliances, optimizing energy usage and reducing overall environmental impact. The IoTSH also features advanced data analytics to provide insights into energy consumption patterns, allowing users to make informed decisions for further efficiency improvements.
