PROPOSED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

To successfully connect to the Home server, the user has to configure the IP address and the Port number of the micro Web-server in the app.

Any Android based Smart phone with built in support for Wi-Fi can be used to access and control the devices at home. When a Wi-Fi connection is not available, mobile cellular networks such as 3G or 4G can be used to access the system.Urassa
