IoT Server Simulation for Device Monitoring and Control using Cisco Packet Tracer

The IoT-based smart home automation system was successfully implemented and tested using Cisco Packet Tracer. The Access Point provided wireless connectivity to all IoT appliances, while the Server managed device registration and communication. The Personal Computer successfully accessed the IoT dashboard through a web browser and remotely controlled the connected appliances. The experiment demonstrated the practical application of IoT technology in smart home automation and provided a clear understanding of wireless networking, centralized device management, and remote monitoring.
