Internet of Things (IOT) had many applications in several domains; it also strides into smart homes. Controlling appliances with IOT can be easily done using Smart phone through Android apps. Home automation is one of the profound in day to day applications. Due to hasty progress in technology, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) has brought revolutionary change than compared to Wired LAN communication. Existing wireless communication devices such as Bluetooth, Zig Bee and NRF24L 01 etc. are limited to short range. IOT uses Wi-Fi to exchange data wirelessly for large distances using Internet. IOT module (ESP8266) is used to control the home industrial appliances in remote areas anywhere in the world. Serial Communication exchanges the data between FPGA and IOT module. Home appliances are controlled using FPGA which receives commands in serial communication from IOT Module through smart phone app. Compare to existing home automation; IOT based home automation can update device status with E-Mail alerts and also in web with IP address which can be password protected. Due to its high precision and smart phone technology helps for physically challenged and senior citizens.
