Abstract: Today the world runs behind wireless technology to have anything (data), anywhere and anytime. Most commonly used wireless technologies are blue tooth communication and Wi-Fi communication. These technologies yet fail in satisfying the demand of the user. Emerging technology is Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology that uses visible light (that is abundant) for data transmission using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). These LED’s provide illumination and faster switching speed that can be used for data transfer. They operate in the TeraHertz frequency range and provide better opportunities to achieve better data rates compared to Wi-Fi. Research is carried out to commercialize the technology. In the proposed work we use Li-Fi instead of Wi-Fi for data transmission which is used for smart home control. The speed of Li-Fi is greater than Wi-Fi by at least 100 times, as visible light travels faster than radio waves.
