With the rising power of technology, we are able
to accomplish things at a much quicker rate. We have at the
touch of a button access to large amounts of information due
to the capability of computers and the Internet. Not only has
technology given us more information, but it also has given us
the ability to communicate, organize, and manage our time.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision in which the Internet
extends into our everyday lives through a wireless network of
uniquely identifiable objects. In this paper we present on how
to create and build an IoT enabled device and control the
said device wirelessly using our smart phones.

Fi module.
The paper has been experimentally proven to work
successfully. We can control the parameters of the AC
components using the Blynk app or manually using the
touch screen. The designed system not only monitors the
sensor data, like temperature, light, mood lighting but also
actuates a process according to the requirement. It also
stores the sensor parameters in the cloud in a timely
manner. This will help the user to analyze the condition of
various parameters in home anytime anywhere.
