Abstract:
As the world has adopted the use of digital, smart living solutions are becoming increasingly essential
in improving convenience, efficiency, and sustainability in modern urban environments. This research
project, titled "Mobile and Web Application Enabled IoT Ecosystem for Smart Living", aims to
address key challenges in the current IoT usage, such as non-interoperability, limited remote access,
security concerns, and lack of energy monitoring. The study proposes the development of a mobile
and web-based IoT ecosystem powered by an ESP32 microcontroller, integrating a Progressive Web
Application (PWA), an SMS gateway, and energy monitoring systems. The system will focus on three
core areas: remote IoT control of electrical devices, real-time energy consumption monitoring, and
seamless communication through an SMS gateway, allowing users to manage their smart homes
efficiently.
By the use of Python, JavaScript, and C++, the platform provides users with a flexible, secure, and
personalized solution to control their IoT devices across varying locations. Additionally, the study
has investigated existing limitations in current IoT systems by offering a more user-centric alternative
that enhances both functionality and security.
These findings contribute to the advancement of smart living technologies, promoting energy savings,
enhanced security, and improved connectivity while mitigating the limitations found in conventional
IoT ecosystems.
