In this era, digitization and automation has made the life of human beings simpler. Automation saves money,
time, and reduces the human efforts. Traditional appliances control systems are less reliable, require more
human effort, and lag from safety measures. We designed a sophisticated but very intuitive and low-cost
mechanized touch screen control panel system for home appliances and security with the Internet of Things Graphical User
(IoT) capability. This work includes a standard web server and Wi-Fi technology to control the home Interface for
appliances. The appliances can be switched ON and OFF through an Android device and touch screen board room selection
mounted on the wall. To control the speed of a fan, a TRIAC-based digital dimmer has been designed. The
concept is based on controlling the ON time of TRIAC to control the AC power of the fan. Furthermore,
different sensors, e.g., Temperature, Humidity, and Voltage have been deployed for safety reasons that take
the values and display them on the android device. The ESP8266 module with microcontroller and Wi-Fi
capability has been used for wireless control of appliances. We aim to make the interface look very
presentable, efficient, customizable, and user-friendly.

Traditional appliances control system requires more human effort and does not fit in the new era of Appliance control
digitalization. The running systems are less reliable and efficient. Traditional systems consume a lot of Graphical User
wire, cause losses and over pricing. More wiring more chances of faults. There is also room for Interface
improvement in safety and security in traditional systems.
