Easy to use

All IoT Products communicate with other devices and RaspberryPi MQTT-like server The measuring devices share their data to main database then synchronyze with parent main Server
Mobile app got features to trigger "Home Mode" while entering system's Wi-Fi connection, so data will communicate through local connections as well as using Internet while away.

Home System's electronic products such as Conditioner, lights, curtain, TV, Boiler, Oven and the rest can be embedded by ESP8266 or AT-Mega controller connect to System

Security

Entrance door is equipped with RFID and Fingerprint sensors, the logger logs the entrance time, camera captures motion detect and failed attempt causes.


Each failed attempt sends alarm to Mobile App and sends SMS to a number of a user.
These alarms also pre-built for Fire, Gas, Water-leak sensors.
The system has additional Power in case of electricity off conditions.
