Industry experts, corporate heads, and chiefs of businesses all agree that we are on the verge of what is to be the Fourth Industrial Revolution - which will be more disrupting and impactful than any we've seen in the history of mankind. Automation is without a doubt, one of the pillars of this Industrial Revolution. Consumers worldwide prefer automated systems over manual ones. Today the Internet has become a part and parcel of daily life. We cannot imagine a life without the internet. In this paper we present to you an Automation System which is a real-world application of a fast- growing emerging Internet Technology, The Internet of Things (IoT). A Home Automation System, based on the IOT, makes the consumers life easier, more comfortable, faster and more secure. This cutting-edge technology allows the consumer to have complete control over his or her home appliances and devices from anywhere in the world, via a web browser with an internet connection. The simulation designed by us, in this paper, is a small approximation of a much larger real-world system, the concepts, approach and methodology however, remaining the same. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
