Implementation of Smart Home Solution based on Internet of Things

Abstract

With the advances in information and communication technologies, small tiny devices capable to sense the environment became cheap and affordable. This opens many new possibilities to design cheap and simple solutions for monitoring indoor and outdoor environments. In this paper, we have designed and developed a complete system based on Internet of Things technologies for indoor temperature regulation. The main contributions of this paper are: (1) to remotely regulate the temperature in a condominium-based apartment; and (2) to provide apartment temperature zoning in order to save energy. Our system combines state-of-the-art off-the-shelf hardware components and embedded software to create a contemporary solution.
