Home Automation System

A smart home automation system developed using Arduino and Flutter, designed to enhance lighting control and improve user convenience.

Features

• Automatic light activation and deactivation based on room entry and exit.
• Mobile application control built with Flutter.
• Integration with Arduino for seamless hardware-software interaction.
• Support for mood-based and customizable lighting colors.
• Energy-efficient design for sustainable usage.

Technologies Used

• Flutter: This is for developing the mobile application interface.
• Arduino: For hardware implementation and communication.
• Wi-Fi (ESP8266/ESP32): For wireless communication between devices.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Arduino IDE installed on your computer.
• Flutter SDK set up for mobile app development.
• ESP8266/ESP32 Wi-Fi module.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kavindualwis/home-automation.git

2. Open the Arduino folder and upload the code to your board using Arduino IDE.

3. Navigate to the Flutter folder, install dependencies, and run the app:

   cd FlutterApp
   flutter pub get
   flutter run

Usage

• Install the app on your mobile device.
• Connect the hardware to Wi-Fi using the provided configuration settings.
• Use the mobile app to control lights, customize colors, and monitor system status.
• Adjust settings for energy efficiency and mood-based lighting directly from the app.

Project Structure

• /Arduino: The Arduino source code for hardware control.
• /FlutterApp: Contains the Flutter project for the mobile application.

Future Enhancements

• Add voice control capabilities.
• Extend automation features to other appliances.
• Implement machine learning for predictive lighting control based on user behavior.
