Smart Home Project

I developed a Smart Home system designed to control and automate various home functions using embedded systems technology. The project is based on microcontrollers such as Arduino and ESP32, allowing control of lighting, electrical appliances, and sensors through smart control logic and wireless communication.

The system integrates multiple sensors (such as motion, temperature, and gas sensors) and actuators (relays, motors), enabling real-time monitoring and automated responses. The Smart Home project focuses on energy efficiency, user convenience, and system reliability, with the ability to expand and add new devices in the future.

Challenges Faced During the Project

Hardware Integration:

Connecting multiple sensors and modules together caused issues related to wiring, power distribution, and signal interference.

Power Management:

Ensuring stable voltage levels for different components (5V and 3.3V) was challenging, especially when using ESP32 with external modules.

Communication & Connectivity:

Establishing reliable wireless communication (Wi-Fi / Bluetooth) and handling connection drops required careful configuration and error handling in the code.

Software Debugging:

Debugging embedded code and identifying whether issues were hardware- or software-related took significant time and testing.

System Scalability:

Designing the system in a way that allows future expansion without major redesign was a key challenge
