SharPi- Smart Home Automation using Raspberry Pi

Abstract
Home Automation systems achieved great popularity over the last decade, increasing the quality of life while also providing better comfort. The concept gained traction because of its numerous advantages. One can easily achieve home automation today by choosing from the various services available to them. The services establish a connection between the home appliances and the electrical devices to the Internet or the cloud. Home automation is reaching the zenith in recent days due to the advancements in telecommunications ( the launch of 5G) that offers greater quality connectivity to the people. Cloud computing-based platforms help to connect to the things in everyday surroundings so that one can easily access anything and everything simply through their voice or custom designed portals. Therefore, the cloud acts as a frontend to IoT. Here, we are designing a system that can control the devices through a wireless network or over the cloud. The project aims to design an IoT based home automation system with the goal to giving the user complete control over all things wireless. The proposed system will can be controlled from a central host server, the internet, and also via smartphones simply by using different voice commands.
