Abstract: The project is targeted to build a smart home switchboard and architecture as a whole that can provide a wireless interface to the user for accessing various electrical devices. It will facilitate the accessing of the switch board components, switches, fan regulator, tv remote, motor actuators for smart curtains all via the mobile phone interface using wifi. We store the current status of the accessible components and also provide the real time status to the user screen. Due to the attached micro controller unit with the extended switchboard architecture that we propose it becomes easy to fetch and push the values both ways from the switch board via a very lightweight messaging protocol, MQTT. This idea can be compared with the existing home automation systems in terms of performance and it is capable of designing smart switchboards along with open source messaging architecture for user interface at around 20% cost that the market leaders are currently providing.
