Why Choose This Project?

Smart homes are the future of modern living. This project allows students to build an IoT-based platform where users can remotely monitor and control their home appliances (lights, fans, AC, security cameras, door locks, etc.) via a cloud-based dashboard.

It provides hands-on experience with IoT devices, MQTT protocols, cloud integration, real-time data streaming, and mobile/web applications.

What You Get

A centralized cloud IoT platform for controlling home devices
Real-time device monitoring and remote control
Secure data storage of sensor readings and device states
Automation rules (e.g., turn on AC if temperature > 28°C)
Mobile/Web app for controlling devices from anywhere
Voice assistant integration (Alexa/Google Assistant)

Key Features

S3 / Blob Storage	Store user settings, firmware updates
SNS / Firebase Cloud Messaging	Send alerts/notifications to users
CloudWatch / IoT Analytics	Monitor device activity and generate insights

Working Flow

Device Registration
- IoT devices (ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.) register with the cloud IoT platform.
Communication Setup
- Devices send telemetry data (temperature, motion, power usage) via MQTT to the cloud.
User Authentication
- Users log in via web/mobile app (with JWT/OAuth 2.0 authentication).
Remote Control
- User actions (turn on/off light, adjust AC) are sent from the dashboard to the cloud, then to devices.
Automation Rules
- Cloud functions execute rules (e.g., turn on lights if motion detected at night).
Alerts & Notifications
- In case of unusual activity (gas leak, break-in), push/SMS/email alerts are sent.
Data Analytics
- Energy usage and device performance are visualized on dashboards.
