Design and Fabrication of a Socket Jockey and Its Use in Home Automation

In today’s fast-paced generation, the need of the hour is to develop a technology that can make day-to-day mundane activities obsolete and replace them with a much more convenient and versatile solution. One of such mundane activities is the operation of household switchboards. This project provides the luxury of comfort while “jockeying the sockets of one’s household.” The world is facing the problem of overcharging, wherein a lot of phone companies are investing billions to solve it by modernizing phones/chargers, while our solution is to modernize the sockets instead. In the current work, basic networking and communication have been used. Base framework for developing technology that can solve many of our day-to-day problems is developed. One of the primary aims of the current work is to eliminate the physical requirement of the user at the time of switching on or off devices plugged on to switchboards. This will not only be a luxury for the buyers but also to the world as it cuts on electronic waste and saves electricity. Finally, a product is designed and developed to be used remotely to switch on or off (timer enabled) the power supply of devices at the convenience of the user.
