The project presents a low cost and flexible home control and monitoring system using a Raspberry PI module and a Static Relay, with internet connectivity for accessing and controlling devices and appliances remotely using Smartphone android application. The proposed system does not require a dedicated server PC with respect to similar systems and offers a novel communication protocol to monitor and control the home environment with more than just the switching functionality. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this system, devices such as Static relays and a wifi router can be integrated with the home control system.
