Smart Curtain Using Internet of Things

Abstract

The paper focuses on the inabilities of physically challenged people those who are not able to get up from their bed to close or open the curtain or other appliances and they need some third person always to help them. We decided to make a system with the help of which they can close the curtain automatically without getting down from the bed or without the help of third person. The work uses the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which is fast emerging. This technology is aimed at providing ease to control things connected by internet, for example, we can control the fans and lights in our house by being anywhere in the world. In the proposed model we are using a microcontroller interfaced to ESP8266 Wi-Fi module to make the internet connectivity successful. Blynk app is used to control the microcontroller.
