Augmented reality(AR) is a vast field which enlarges the capabilities of various technological areas. Even though AR has proven to be advantageous in various areas, mainly by eliminating cognitive overload and providing a visual experience, it has a major drawback of requiring internet connectivity in most applications. Internet of Things(IoT) is associated with AR to upgrade existing IoT technology to another level. Considering home automation(which incorporates IoT), when coerced with AR provides remote access to the network, contactless switching(simply, by hovering over virtual buttons) and includes additional features like temperature, humidity detection, etc. AR is an emerging technology which is rapidly developing. This, when used with novel cloud platforms like Sinric Pro, Blynk, ThinkSpeak, etc. results in the exploration of a lot of new features. This paper describes the concept of AR integrated with home automation which uses IoT and Sinric Pro. Using these technologies in the existing system enhances human capabilities, creates unique customer experiences and provides real time analysis. It discusses an approach to inculcate AR in IoT to increase the applications.
