world objects (things) through the Internet. When it comes to our house, this concept can be
aptly incorporated to make it smarter, safer and automated. This IoT project focuses on
building a smart wireless home security system which sends alerts to the owner by using
Internet in case of any trespass and raises an alarm optionally. Besides, the same can also be
utilized for home automation by making use of the same set of sensors. The leverage obtained
by preferring this system over the similar kinds of existing systems is that the alerts and the
status sent by the Wi-Fi connected microcontroller managed system can be received by the
user on his phone from any distance irrespective of whether his mobile phone is connected to
the internet. The microcontroller used in the current project is the ESP32 for accessing and
controlling devices and appliances remotely. Therefore, this system has been successfully
designed and implemented in real time.

Lastly, Augmented Reality implementation in this project brings user executing direct
interactions to manipulate all objects in the surrounding world. Thus, this project presents an
idea or a concept for home automation using ESP32 with Blynk App, Augmented Reality and
switch to control four Relays with and without internet.

1. Introduction
Home automation is become more beneficial because of its safety and security. Nowadays,
home automation become more advance and precise to monitor all the home appliances.[1]
Home automation system become energy efficient and highly approachable smart home
technique. It involves basic feature to maintain the user satisfaction and comfort. Home
automation systems are quickly emerging and becoming popular nowadays in the world and
its end users are specifically the disabled and elderly but due to their complexity and cost it
is not always accepted.[2] Population ageing is taking place in nearly all the countries of the
world. Ageing results from decreasing mortality, and most importantly, declining fertility.
This process leads to a relative reduction in the proportion of children and to an increase in
the share of people in the main working ages and of older persons in the population.[3]

With rapid economic growth, living standard are also rising day by day. The modern society
wants safe, economic, comfortable and convenient life which is ideal for every family. Home
automation is a very promising area. Its main benefits range from increased comfort and
greater safety and security, to a more rational use of energy and other resources, allowing for
significant savings.[4] It also offers powerful means for helping and supporting the special
needs of people with disabilities and, in particular, the elderly. This application domain is
very important and will steadily increase in the future. Home automation is known as the
automation of the home, housework or household activity. It commonly defines a residence
that integrates technology and services through home networking to improve the quality of
living.[5] Home automation is not a new term for science society and has been around for a
significant time. Home automation include mainly centralized control of lighting,
temperature, appliances, and other systems, to provide improved comfort, convenience,
efficiency and security. For disabled and elderly person home automation can be the
substitute of institutional care.

There are certain issues involved in the design of a home automation system. The system
should be scalable, so that new device can easily be integrated into it.[6] It should provide a
user-friendly interface on the host side, so that the devices can be setup, monitored and
controlled. The interface should also provide some diagnostic services so those problems with
the system, if any, can be tracked down. The overall system should be fast enough to realize
the true power of wireless technology. It should also be cost effective in order to justify its
application in home automation.[7]

The alerts and the status of the IoT system can be accessed by the user from anywhere even
where Internet connectivity may not be readily available since it is not necessary for the
mobile phone to be connected to internet only board is required to have an access to Wi-Fi.

The existing infra-red (IR) or Blue-tooth remote controls present in the market are in general
appliance specific and the same cannot be used interchangeably.[8] Electrical appliances
connected through Bluetooth making use of Blue-tooth enabled smart phones cannot be
managed from a distant location. Thus, functions such as being able to turn on an air-
conditioner while returning home cannot be done with such systems. In contrast, this work
gives a cost effective and simple solution for wireless home automation and home security
systems. The difficulty faced by current home security/surveillance systems in providing
information pertaining to the situation to users while being away from home is tried to
overcome in this project.[9]

This Project employs an embedded SoC ESP32 for accessing devices and appliances
remotely. People's expectations regarding automation and security have changed to large
extent during the course of time due to the advancement of technology and services. Different
automation systems over the time tried to provide efficient, convenient and safe way for
inhabitants to access their workplace. Many existing systems still uses Bluetooth module
instead of the Wi-Fi module so the area of operation is greatly reduced. Augmented Reality
(AR) implementation in this project brings user executing direct interactions to manipulate
all objects in the surrounding world.

4.Work Done
a) Working principle:

Home automation involves automating the household environment. This is possible because
of the smartphones and internet that we are widely using. Home automation can be again
divided in to just controlling the appliances using a smartphone from a remote location and
another type filled with sensors which controls the lighting, temperature, door locks,
electronic gadgets, electrical appliances etc. using a “Smart” system.

In this project, we will design a simple home automation project using simple components
using which different electrical appliances can switched on or off. The project is based on
ESP32 and commands are sent via Augmented Reality (Blynk App), which controls relay
operation of project.

✓ Block Diagram:

This project presents an idea or a concept for home automation using ESP32 with Blynk,
Augmented Reality and manual switch to control 4 relays with and without internet and
monitor the real time feedback in the Blynk app. Automation of device has a wide scope for
this generation as well as in forthcoming generation. In this mobile communication
technology is playing a major role in the world of automation. And also, it will very helpful
for providing support to disable people and fulfill their needs in home and thus they lead a
normal life. This proposes system consists of Android mobile in using ESP32 with Blynk
app, Augmented reality & Manual control relays. We are a using Wi-Fi technology to monitor
the device because of its accuracy, high range and instant connectivity.

With this ESP32 project. It can control 4 home appliances from the smartphone, Augmented
reality application, and manual switches. If there is no internet available still it can control
the relay module from the augmented reality application and manual switches. With this IoT-
based smart home system, If the ESP32 connected with Each other Wi-Fi then it can also
monitor the real- time feedback of the relays in the Blynk app. If the Wi-Fi is available the
ESP32 with automatically connect with the Wi- Fi.

A simple home automation project using ESP32, Blynk App and a smartphone. The aim of
this project is to control different home appliances using a smartphone. After making circuit
connection and obtaining PCBs then upload program to ESP32 using micro-usb type data
cable which also powers up ESP32. When the power is turned on, the connection LED on the
ESP32 starts and is ready to use. We need to start the “BLYNK” app in our smartphone and
get connected to the it. If the pairing is successful, the LED becomes stable. Now, in the app,
we need to set different keys for different loads and their corresponding value that must be
transmitted when that key is pressed.

b) Methodology Developed and Adopted Design:

✓ AR (AUGMENTED REALITY)

AR as an enhanced version of reality created by using technology to overlay digital

information onto live camera feed. In simpler terms, AR allows digital content to look like it
is part of the physical world.

Every AR system comprises 3 components - Hardware, Software, and the Application. I will
use the example of our smartphones to expound the concept of Hardware, Software and
Application

✓ IOT (Internet of Things)

IoT enabled home or a Smart home is basically a wireless smart control and operation of all
home appliances like lights, fans, heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines
and other such appliances.

When these devices are connected to the internet, they are a part of Internet of Things. The
backbone of this automation system is a basic (SoC) System on Chip, connected to the
internet via USB serial or ESP32 WIFI Module. Models can be integrated as and when
required and also to ease human efforts.

3) IFTTT

IFTTT can automate web-application tasks, such as posting the same content on several social
networks. Marketing professionals can use IFTTT to track mentions of companies in RSS
feeds. IFTTT also is used in home automation, for instance switching on a light when
detecting motion in a room (with associated compliant devices).

Features:

• Services (formerly known as channels) are the basic building blocks of IFTTT. They
mainly describe a series of data from a certain web service such as YouTube or eBay.
Services can also describe actions controlled with certain APIs, like SMS. Sometimes, they
can represent information in terms of weather or stocks. Each service has a particular set
of triggers and actions.
• Triggers are the "this" part of an applet. They are the items that trigger the action. For
example, from an RSS feed, you can receive a notification based on a keyword or phrase.
• Actions are the "that" part of an applet. They are the output that results from the input of
the trigger.
• Applets (formerly known as recipes) are the predicates made from Triggers and Actions.
For example, if you like a picture on Instagram (trigger), an IFTTT app can send the photo
to your Dropbox account (action).
• Ingredients are basic data available from a trigger—from the email trigger, for example;
subject, body, attachment, received date, and sender’s address.

3) Relay:

A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically

operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays.
Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal, or
where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long
distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit
and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges
and early computers to perform logical operations.
