Abstract
This paper explores the application of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems in the development of smart electronic
devices integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. It provides an overview of modern software tools used for PCB
design, microcontroller selection, and wireless communication setup. A particular focus is given to a practical example—the
creation of a smart thermometer based on ESP32 and DS18B20 sensors. This case study demonstrates how automated design
approaches enhance efficiency in IoT device development, optimizing hardware and software integration for real-world
applications.
