Abstract Home automation is a topic that is gaining popularity every day, because of its great benefits. One can achieve home automation by simply connecting home appliances to the internet or cloud storage. The reasonfor this growing need for network automationenabledbythe network is reaching its peak in recent days with its simplicity and comparable accessibility. Cloud based platforms help connect to the object's surroundings for everyone to find it easy to access anything and everything at any time and place in an easy to use way using custom defined sites. Therefore, the cloud serves as the ultimate access point for IoT. Here we take the system that can control devices through a wireless based network or cloud based approach. In the project we use an Io based Home Automation systemwhich aims todevelop a home automation system that gives the user complete control over all remote control features of his or her home. The automation system will be able to be controlled from a centralized PC, Internet, and also remotely accessed via a PC with a Windows based operating system. Augmented Reality is a successful technology that can facilitate the execution of complex tasks. Reality augmented mixes practical and realistic, making available to the user new tools to ensure efficiency in the transfer of information through a few processes and in a few places. Various Augmented Reality based solutions have been proposed by the research community: particularly in Augmented Reality rehabilitation tools that offer new ideas and promise amazing progress.

1. INTRODUCTION

With the daily advancement of technology our expectation of higher living standards rises sharply. From highstandardsofliving,wemeantheuseofsmartphones, smart watches, smart glasses, smart TVs, highly advanced laptopsetc.whichmakeshumanlifeeasier.Asmarthome seems “smart” because its computer systems can monitor many aspects of daily life [1]. In this age of technological advancement,automationisamatterofthehour.

6.1 Advantages

1.Easyaccess

Atthemoment,youcaneasilyfindtheinformationyou need in real time, from (almost) anywhere you are.

Only smart device and internet connection are required.

2.EnergySaving

Home automation systems have definitely proven themselves in the energy saving arena. Automatic thermostats allow you to pre set the temperature based on the time of day and day of the week Real energy savings ultimately depends on the type of device you choose and its default power. But on average, manufacturers estimate that systems can helpconsumerssaveanywherefrom10to15percent onheatingandcoolingcosts.

3.Easy

Luxury is another major selling point for home automation devices, which eliminate almost minor annoyancessuchasturningoffthelightsbeforegoing tobedoradjustingthethermostatwhenyouwakeup in the morning. Many systems come with remote dashboardpower,soforgettingtoturnoffthatcoffee pot before you leave no longer requires a trip back home.Justdragthedashboardontoasmartdeviceor computer,andturnoffthecoffeepotinafewseconds.
