Home Automation

Which micro controller should I use in order to develop a home automation system using Wifi?

Hi Nisha,
there are many WiFi enabled options for you in circuito.io:

  1. Use a micro-controller with WiFi already embedded like nodeMCU or ESP32.
  2. Use RaspberryPi (not a micro-controller but a good option).
  3. Use Arduino Mega / Micro with an esp8266-01 module for WiFi connectivity.

To truly rank those options, it’s important to first plan what you’re trying to automate exactly within the home & how much prior knowledge you have. I suggest to consult our blog for home automation project ideas, as well as try out instructables.com and hackster.io.

Happy to assist further,
Yana.
