Abstract

The rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has significantly contributed to the development of smart home systems that enable remote monitoring and control of household devices through internet connectivity. This study proposes the design and implementation of an IoT-based monitoring and control system using ESP8266 and Arduino IoT Cloud for smart home applications. The proposed system integrates various sensors and actuator modules to perform environmental monitoring and remote control of electrical devices in real time. The system is capable of monitoring temperature and humidity conditions while simultaneously controlling several household devices, including lighting units, television systems, air conditioning units, and automated door mechanisms through a cloud-based platform. The development process was carried out using a prototyping methodology consisting of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing stages. System performance was evaluated based on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, including delay, throughput, packet loss, command execution success rate, and connection stability. Experimental results showed that the local system response time was approximately 1 second, while the Arduino IoT Cloud response ranged from 2 to 3 seconds depending on network conditions and cloud synchronization processes. The average delay obtained from the QoS analysis was 2.5 seconds, with a throughput value of 800 bps and packet loss of 0%. In addition, the system achieved a command execution success rate of 100% and maintained stable communication throughout the testing process. The results indicate that the proposed IoT-based monitoring and control system provides reliable communication performance, efficient bandwidth utilization, and stable remote operation for smart home environments. Therefore, the integration of ESP8266 and Arduino IoT Cloud can be considered an effective solution for implementing smart home monitoring and automation systems.
