Abstract
Nowadays, remote Home Automation turns out to be more significant and appealing. It improves the value of lives by automating various electrical appliances or instruments. This thesis centers on the design and implementation of a smart control system for improved estate management. The design and implementation of the system were achieved through the use of a Microcontroller and other units such as an IoT WiFi module, Internet Protocol (IP) camera module, Short Message Service (SMS) notification unit, and Automatic water supply and control unit. These modules or units were properly interfaced following the aim and objectives of the research work. The IoT WiFi module links the gadgets to the cloud where they can be remotely monitored and controlled. The IP camera connected to the WiFi module keeps the gadgets under control to be viewed from anywhere in the world. SMS notification, Automatic intruder picture notification, Automatic water supply, and control units interfaced with the 16. Arduino Microcontroller which addresses the issue of security warning and water wastage in the estate. The system has a control table from which the Estate Gadgets Control Manager (EGCM) can easily access and control the devices as the case may be through a mobile application. The completed prototype of the system is also capable of starting an electronic choke generator. The technologies employed in the design of the system were WiFi and GSM network technologies.
