Abstract—The merging of the physical and digital worlds is the result of technological advancement and a new chapter in the story of today’s networked world governed by internet. Having the advantage of merging allows changes to be adopted with respect to organization, manipulation and even control of almost anything via networked technology. This leads to the idea of Internet of Things (IoT), which can be defined as the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure. IoT is an emerging technology that can allow interconnection of everything beyond what is expected. This study aims to engage in research, modeling and implementation of an integrated technology that will blend WiFi development board modules built on ESP8266 based modules, microcontrollers and elements of Internet of Things to form an intelligent environment. The primary focus is to allow smart power outlet sources of devices to be controlled and monitored via the internet and/or local wireless area network by infusing standardized elements of IoT, communication protocols and a mobile and web application.
