IOT Based Home Automation by Using ESP8266 (NodeMcu) with Blynk

After successful Completion of this project, you would be able to control your home appliances such as Tv, Fan, Bulb, Motor, Refrigerator, and door lock e.t.c. with the help of your smartphone from anywhere in the world. Esp8266 a wifi Module plays a vital role in this IOT Based Home Automation Project.

An Esp8266 Module will Receive commands from your smartphone wirelessly through the internet. To Encode those commands in a smartphone and send it to ESP8266, for doing this job we need an application to perform this task. There are numerous Applications Available but we are going to choose the best one and that is “Blynk” this application is Available for both platforms such as iOs OR Android. You can create Creative Projects with the Help of Blynk APP. I would Strongly Recommend this Article to beginners : 

Learning How to Use Esp8266 in Combination with Blynk App | IoT

This Project requires a streamless internet connectivity as we already know that IOT is totally dependent on Internet Connectivity. Everything is clearly defined in the video Tutorial and one thing more don’t hesitate to ask any question related to this Project.  We are always available to answer your Questions.
