By shiva shankar P

Most existing home automation systems emphasize remote access rather than intelligent automation. Users are required to manually select modes, configure schedules, or control devices individually through applications. This approach makes the system reactive and increases operational effort. From a system design…

How to Set Static IP on Raspberry Pi How to Set a Static IP on Raspberry Pi?

If you've ever worked with a Raspberry Pi, you’ve probably run into that annoying moment when your Raspberry Pi just disappears from the network. You try to SSH into it or access a local web dashboard, but suddenly it's not there. You fire up the terminal and type ping raspberrypi.local, and nothing. It turns out, your router handed the Pi a different IP address this…
