This project presents a design and prototype implementation of improved home automation system that uses WiFi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system consists of two main elements; the first element is the software element; the internet of things (IoT) which is the web server via Blynk Application), the system that monitors users’ dedicated appliances at home. Users and system administrator can locally (LAN) or remotely (internet) monitor the system. Second part is hardware interface module, which provides appropriate interface to sensors using Arduino UNO and acts as the actuator for the home automation system. The system is user-friendly since it can be managed and operated easily. The system has successfully operated as expected with the implementation of multiple sensors to actuate the system operation. The proposed system has the potential to be commercialized due to its low cost and simplicity to be ap-plied for home automation systems.
