NodeMCU

NodeMCU is an open source IoT stage. It

incorporates firmware which keeps running on
the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif
Systems, and equipment which depends on the
ESP-12 module. The expression "NodeMCU" as
a matter of course alludes to the firmware
instead of the dev packs. The firmware utilizes
the Lua scripting dialect. It depends on the eLua
extend, and based on the Espressif Non-OS SDK
for ESP8266. It utilizes many open source
ventures, for example, lua-cjson, and spiffs.[10]

the lights. The project shown in the figure has
been implemented and works as expected and CONCLUSIONS
will prove to be very useful [7]
This research was conducted to design and
improve the standard living at home with low
cost, to control various home applications and
provide secure, ubiquitously accessible, auto-
configurable, remotely controlled solution [3]
The planed aims at home automation system
have been accomplished. Where system
designed and architecture had been discussed,
and basic level of home appliance control
prototype had been presented with implementing
remote monitoring. [3]
The loads are operated by IOT board through
Relay Module. [4] By using that technology is
advancing so houses are also getting smarter and
faster and also involving remote controlled
switches. [4] and The core system of this project
is adopted from the Blynk framework[1].
