Abstract

This paper presents a new device for controlling electrical devices using a SIM card, harnessing the power of cellular Internet of Things (IoT) technology. With the growing reliance on the internet and the increasing popularity of smart devices, automated systems have become a preferred choice for managing everyday tasks. The proposed system integrates both hardware and software interfaces, providing users with comprehensive control and real-time monitoring of electrical outlets and lighting systems. This not only saves time and effort but also contributes to energy efficiency. A significant feature of the system is the incorporation of voice control via a dedicated mobile application, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with special needs and the elderly, offering them enhanced accessibility and ease of use. A key innovation lies in the use of a SIM card, simplifying the setup process and eliminating the need for complicated installations. Additionally, the system employs NodeMCU ESP8266 technology, which facilitates the control of appliances and sensors. The mobile application is designed to be user-friendly, supporting multiuser functionality, thereby offering an efficient and convenient solution for smart home management and energy optimization. This approach makes smart home automation more accessible and practical for a wide range of users.
