Here is your updated, GitHub-ready README.md for your “Integrating Smart Home System using UDP and TCP Protocols” project, explicitly mentioning:

✅ Done between two Ubuntu systems of different versions. ✅ One system runs the device hub + devices (uploaded zip), the other runs server.py for handling device communication and control.

This project integrates a smart home system using UDP and TCP protocols (not including IoT cloud), focusing on network communication and protocol management between devices within a local environment.

✅ Tested between two Ubuntu systems of different versions:

• Ubuntu System 1: Runs device hub, devices, and Flask dashboard (uploaded ZIP).
• Ubuntu System 2: Runs server.py to handle communication and device control using UDP/TCP protocols.

• Local Device Simulation:
  • Camera, lights, thermostat, smart lock, washing machine, cooking appliances simulated as Python scripts communicating with the hub using TCP/UDP.
• Central Hub (hub.py):
  • Registers devices dynamically.
  • Sends control commands and receives device statuses.
• Server Coordination (server.py on the second Ubuntu system):
  • Handles device registration, control requests, and reliable UDP/TCP communication.
• Performance Logging:
  • Latency and throughput data captured in client_performance_data.csv and server_performance_data.csv.
• Data Analysis & Visualization:
  • Generates latency distribution and throughput graphs.
  • Endpoint-wise performance tracking.
• Web Dashboard (Flask):
  • Control devices through a simple web interface.
  • Visualize real-time device statuses and performance.

• app.py: Flask server for the web dashboard.
• hub.py: Main device hub manager.
• network_control.py: UDP/TCP socket handling.
• camera.py, light.py, thermostat.py, etc.: Device scripts.
• Voice_Assistant.py: Voice control for devices.
• *_analysis.py: Data analysis and visualization scripts.
• server.py: (On second Ubuntu system) Manages device communication over TCP/UDP.
• templates/, static/: Web dashboard HTML and images.
• client_performance_data.csv, server_performance_data.csv: Logs of latency and throughput data.
• styles.css: Dashboard styling.

On both Ubuntu systems:

pip install flask matplotlib pandas numpy

python hub.py

In separate terminals:

python camera.py
python light.py
python thermostat.py
python smartlock.py
python washing_machine.py
python cooking.py

python app.py

Open http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser to control and view devices.

Run:

python server.py

This will handle:

• Device registration from Ubuntu System 1 over the network.
• Command/control management over UDP and TCP.
• Logging of performance metrics.

To visualize latency and throughput graphs:

python camera_analysis.py
python light_analysis.py
python thermostat_analysis.py
python hub_analysis.py

Graphs will be saved in the static/ folder and viewable via the dashboard.

✅ Fully local smart home system without cloud dependencies. ✅ Understand TCP vs UDP communication practically. ✅ Web dashboard for monitoring and controlling devices. ✅ Performance analysis to study the efficiency of your network.

• Designed for networks and protocol understanding.
• Focuses on device integration using UDP (fast status updates) and TCP (reliable commands).
• Can be extended with encryption and device authentication for security learning.
