There is an increase in demand for low-cost Smart Switch Control Systems (SSCS) that can remotely control home switches or devices in residential environments using mobile applications or websites. In this paper, an SSCS which uses open source software, and can be configured without any physical adjustment to the environment, is developed to automatically minimize energy consumption. The device comprises two parts: An Android application and a unit made up of a programmable Arduino board, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, wall socket and an SD card. In the SSCS, the Android application is used to remotely control switches using the Wi-Fi technology. Tests carried out on the system proved its effectiveness and quick response to signals.
