SMART-RANGE: Advanced Home Automation Using Long-Range Wireless Communication

This paper presents the design and implementation of a longrange smart home automation system using LoRa (Long Range) technology. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver circuit that utilize the RYLR896 LoRa (Long Range) module to communicate over a range of 1–2 km, with potential coverage up to 15 km. A push button at the transmitter end triggers signals that are received and acknowledged via an OLED (ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE) display on the receiver side, which also controls an appliance through a relay. Integration with Google Home via the ESP8266 NodeMCU (Node Micro Controller Unit) allows voice-based control, enhancing user accessibility. The use of LoRa (Long Range) ensures reliable, low-power communication suitable for large homes or remote areas, addressing the limitations of conventional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-based systems. The proposed system demonstrates efficiency, scalability, and real-time responsiveness, making it ideal for modern smart home applications.
