# 🏠 Smart Home Simulator 🔦 | Powered by Python OOP + Flask + IoT
Welcome to the **Smart Home Simulator** — a creative and fully functional IoT-based project where your **smartphone** acts as a **Smart Flashlight** (Light Device), and your **laptop** acts as the **Controller**! Built entirely using **Python**, **Flask**, and **Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)** concepts. No extra hardware required! 💻📱

## 💡 Project Highlights
- ✅ Fully **Object-Oriented** Python structure
- ✅ Real-time **client-server communication** via HTTP
- ✅ Turns ON/OFF simulated Smart Flashlight remotely
- ✅ Uses only a **laptop & phone** to simulate real-world IoT
- ✅ Manual IP input = 🔌 easily connect to any smart device on same network
- ✅ Bonus: 🔁 Blink effect included!
- ✅ Future-ready: Easily expandable to other smart home devices
---
## ⚙️ Technologies Used
- 🐍 Python 3
- 🌐 Flask (REST API)
- 📡 Wi-Fi LAN (Local Network Communication)
- 🧠 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- 📱 Termux (on Android for server)
---
## 🧱 Project Structure
```
smart-home-simulator/
│
├── controller.py # 💻 Laptop - sends commands to the smart light
├── smart_light_server.py # 📱 Phone - handles light states via Flask
├── README.md # 📘 You're here!
```
# 🚀 How It Works
Think of this like a real-world smart home controller, but using basic devices and Python logic.
## 🔁 Communication Flow:
Run smart_light_server.py on your friend’s phone (Android + Termux + Flask)
Run controller.py on your laptop
Enter the phone’s IP address in your controller
Control light via options:
1️⃣ Flash ON
2️⃣ Flash OFF
3️⃣ Blink
Flash is simulated as a virtual smart light using OOP
# 🔧 Setup Instructions
## 📱 On Phone (Server):
1. Install Termux from F-Droid
2. Run these commands in Termux:
```
pkg update
pkg install python
pip install flask termux-api
termux-setup-storage
```
3. Run the smart light server:
```
python smart_light_server.py
```
# 💻 On Laptop (Client):
1. Install Flask & Requests:
```
pip install flask requests
```
2. Run the controller:
```
python controller.py
```
3. Enter IP of the phone when prompted
# 🎮 Sample Controller Menu
```
Select the action:
1. Flash ON
2. Flash OFF
3. Blink
4. Exit
```
# 👨💻 Code Sample (Flashlight Class)
```
class SmartFlashlight:
def __init__(self):
self.state = "off"
def turn_on(self):
self.state = "on"
return "Smart Flashlight is ON"
def turn_off(self):
self.state = "off"
return "Smart Flashlight is OFF"
def get_state(self):
return self.state
```
# 🛠️ Future Improvements
- 📡 Auto IP detection & device scanning
- 📱 Mobile-friendly web GUI
- 📲 Integrate with real flashlight or LED (via GPIO/Arduino)
- 📈 Analytics & dashboard for smart home actions
- 🌍 Control multiple devices (Fan, AC, etc.)
# 🧠 What We Learned
- Real-world implementation of OOP in Python
- Building REST APIs with Flask
- Local network-based IoT simulation
- Client-server architecture
- Collaboration and modular design in code
