IoT-Enabled Smart Homes

Abstract

The smart home achieved commerciality in the previous decades because it has increased comfort and quality of human life. Using AI and IoT technology, humans get notifications about the unplaced (not having or assigned to a specific place) things or devices at home. In this chapter, the authors introduce the concept of a smart home with the integration of IoT (internet of things), cloud, and AI. A smart home can be controlled by smartphones, tablets, or PC. The smart home is a collection of smart devices; smart devices have sensors and actuators. All these devices are connected, and they are controlled by the central unit. The sensor is used to collect data. The smart home is a net of sensors, different types of sensors used to create a smart home. Particular sensors perform particular tasks like biometric sensors used for security. In this chapter, the authors discuss remote access of devices, increased computation power, and data storage. Home automation gives you access to an on and off home light, lock and unlock the door, and switch on and switch off the AC and TV.
