Smart Home Automation

Line drawing of a house connected to small devices

This project brings the connected devices around a house under one roof. An ESP32 acts as the hub, talking to lights, sensors and smart plugs over MQTT, and a Node-RED dashboard lets you watch and control everything from a phone.

The goal is convenience, a little extra security, and lower energy bills from routines that switch off what nobody is using.

Features

  • Central hub: one ESP32 coordinates every device.
  • Live monitoring: temperature, humidity and motion readings as they happen.
  • Remote control: lights, plugs and the camera from anywhere, through the dashboard.
  • Energy routines: automations turn off idle devices and adjust the thermostat.
  • Easy to extend: new devices only need to publish to an MQTT topic.
