INVESTIGATION OF TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF Wi-Fi BASED INTERNET OF THINGS REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF HOME APPLIANCES

Abstract

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has transformed the way we interact with home appliances. This study investigates the technical feasibility and energy efficiency of Wi-Fi-based IoT remote monitoring and control of home appliances. A prototype system was designed and developed using Wi-Fi-enabled microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators to monitor and control various appliances remotely through a mobile application. Experimental results show that the system achieves an average energy savings of 23.4% and reduces appliance standby power consumption by 91.2%. The system's technical feasibility was evaluated through reliability, scalability, and security assessments. Results indicate high reliability (99.85%), scalability (supporting up to 50 devices), and robust security. Energy efficiency was analyzed using Energy Consumption Analysis (ECA) methods. The study concludes that Wi-Fi-based IoT remote monitoring and control of home appliances is technically feasible and energy-efficient, offering significant potential for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
