Automation is not a new idea in our modern life.
Large businesses and wealthy homeowners have used this
technology for years now [1]. This automation concept can
benefit our daily lives through many ways. The aim of this
project is to develop a Home Automation System that focused on
helping handicapped and elderly people to perform their chores
routine such as turn on or turn off fan and light, so that it can be
done wirelessly by using handheld devices such as Smartphone.
This system will be based on Raspberry Pi, and is designed to be
an affordable and reliable home automation system yet, easy to
setup and use. It is hoped that it will provide a better living
environment, and also to reduce wastage of electricity by giving
user the power to control, conserve and react according user
needs, that can be done using the scheduling function for
automatic operation of home appliances
