This paper presents the development of a web-based application for controlling smart curtains using IoT technology. The system is designed to provide a secure and efficient method for managing curtain movements remotely via a web interface. The core hardware components include an Arduino Uno, a Wi-Fi module ESP8266, a light sensor LM393, a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, a BTS7960 motor driver, and a 775 24VDC motor. A key feature of the system is its enhanced security, achieved through the HTTPS (SSL/TLS) protocol, which encrypts data transmission between the ESP8266 module and the server. Additionally, user authentication is implemented, requiring a unique password verification, with the option for two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS or a mobile app. Data transmission to the server is performed using the SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), ensuring secure communication. The system allows users to log in once and remain authenticated for future sessions without repeated password entry. This project aims to provide an intuitive and safe smart home automation solution, improving energy efficiency and user convenience.
