The advancement of technology has significantly enhanced everyday comfort. Today, with the aid of computers, laptops, and tablets, communication and learning have become more accessible. This study employs the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) method to develop a prototype for a home automation system utilizing WiFi technology to interconnect its components. The research concentrates on two primary elements: the application developed to manage and control the system and the device that monitors and transmits signals to the light bulbs. Users can remotely manage and control the lighting system via a WiFi connection, providing enhanced comfort, accessibility, and safety. The application allows users to turn lights on and off remotely, making it particularly useful in various scenarios where manual switching is inconvenient. Future research should focus on developing an application that can be accessed via the internet to expand its functionality beyond local WiFi networks, thereby offering greater flexibility and usability. This study demonstrates the potential for integrating wireless control systems in everyday home environments, highlighting the importance of user-friendly interfaces and reliable connectivity in the development of effective home automation solutions.
