A Smart Home System Using Internet of Things (IoT) Technology

Abstract

The goal of this study is to propose a smart home system that uses internet of things (IoT)-based technologies to improve the effectiveness of home automation and boost energy savings. The system integrates a wide range of sensors, gadgets, and appliances into a coherent system, creating a smart environment that can be remotely controlled and monitored by using an application on a mobile device. The system's goal is to reduce energy consumption by automatically adjusting the temperature, lighting, and other systems in accordance with user preferences and environmental circumstances. In order to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of installing a smart home system as well as previous studies and research that had been done on the issue, a review of the pertinent literature was conducted. Homeowners in the neighborhood that made up the study's sample were given questionnaires as part of the research process. We surveyed this group of homeowners to learn more about their level of interest in upgrading to a smart home system and their current home automation habits. The results show that there is a lot of interest in and readiness for installing a smart home system, with utility bill savings acting as the primary motivator. The findings also show that there is a high level of readiness to reduce utility expenses. We will discuss the study's limitations in this area, as well as some suggestions for further research, along with the implications for policy and practices. The findings of this study suggest that a smart home system based on internet of things technology has the potential to significantly improve both the quality of life and energy efficiency of homeowners.
