The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a kind of network which interconnects various devices with the help of internet. IoT assists to transmit data with among devices, tracing and monitoring devices and other things. IoT make objects 'smart' by allowing them to transmit
data and automating of tasks, without human interference. A health tracking wearable device is an example of simple effortless IoT in our life. A smart city with sensors covering all its regions using diverse tangible gadgets and objects connected with the help of internet is
another example. However, there are still a lot of challenges and issues that need to be addressed to achieve the full potential of IoT. These challenges and issues must be considered from various aspects of IoT such as applications, challenges, enabling technologies, social and environmental impacts etc. This project presents a simple method for developing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Home Automation System that monitors the electrical energy consumption of our houses with realtime tracking. A custom node microcontroller unit (ESP) serves as the main control unit. It is interfaced with sensors that give the real-time status of the surroundings and also monitor
various appliances like lights, fans, etc. Light bulbs and sockets are used to represent the house hold appliances. Communication between human and electrical devices is orchestrated via an android application namely Blynk. Test results of the designed system show that the electrical appliances can be turned On and Off by the Smart arrangemen

Electricity could be regarded as one of humanity's most remarkable inventions since numerous other innovations and operations rely on it for their effective operation. The primary source of this vital energy typically originates from utility lines linked to various power stations, including hydroelectric ones. Nevertheless, the alternating current (AC) supply from utility lines is susceptible to fluctuations such as power surges, voltage deficits, complete outages, and substantial deviations in the electrical supply frequency. The inconsistent and undependable electricity provision from the Nigerian authorities, particularly in recent years, is a significant cause for concern among conscientious Nigerians. The energy stored in the battery undergoes a conversion process, transforming it from a direct current form into a sinusoidal alternating current (AC) output at a voltage of 220V using the inversion technique. An electronic oscillator is a type of electronic circuit responsible for generating a periodic, oscillating electronic signal, and this approach is employed. The DSPIC30F2010 microcontroller is utilized to attain a sinusoidal oscillating output. It generates pulse width modulated (PWM) output with a duty cycle that fluctuates in a sinusoidal pattern. While the inversion process is underway, the controller monitors various parameters, including battery level, overloads, the presence of AC mains, high temperatures, and numerous other features. A 16 by 2 liquid crystal display screen is employed to exhibit information regarding the inverter's status, the charge level of the battery, inverter voltage, mains voltage values, and frequency. A system has been developed, put into operation, and set up for converting 24V DC into 220V AC using rechargeable batteries. It operates more effectively when two 12V deep cycle batteries are connected in series, each with a capacity rating of 220 AH. This setup can maintain a consistent output of 220-240 volts for over 4 hours of continuous usage
