INTRODUCTION
In this presentation,
● The smart home application updates the home database in the cloud to allow remote
people access it and get the latest status of the home.
● A typical IoT platform contains: device security and authentication, device administration,
protocols, data collection, visualization and analysis capabilities, integration with other web
services, scalability, APIs for real-time information flow and open source libraries.
● IoT sensors for home automation are known by their sensing capabilities, such as:
temperature, lux(measure luminosity), water level, air composition, surveillance video
cameras, voice/sound, pressure, humidity, etc. Sound detectors are widely used for
monitoring purposes
● Smart home communication protocols:
1) Zigbee protocol: is mesh networked, low power radio frequency-based protocol for wireless
connection.
2) X10 protocol: is an open protocol for communication between home automation devices that
mainly uses network wiring for signaling and control, superimposing the signals on the
waveform of the sine wave.
3) Insteon protocol:gives you the flexibility to install accessories anywhere in your home, as
long as you have a power outlet or wireless signal. The Insteon protocol is mainly controlled
through the app they developed.It's not the kind of protocol designed to be plug-and-play.
learning curve for Insteon is a bit steeper than most
.
4) Z-wave protocol:it is a mesh network using low-energy radio waves to communicate from
device to device,[2] allowing for wireless control of smart home devices
5) Thread protocol: it is an IPv6-based, secure, low-power mesh networking technology for
Internet of things(IoT) products.
● Deployment of blockchain into home networks can easily be done with Raspberry Pi. A
blockchain secured layer between devices and gateways can be implemented without a
massive revamp of the existing code base. Blockchain is a technology that will play a role
in the future to reassure them with revolutionary and new business models like dynamic

From the definition, Zwave and Zigbee protocols sound very similar so here is the differentiation between the two
protocols.

OpenHAB Framework
●
Open Home Automation Bus is a framework, combining home automation and IoT gateway for
smart homes. It leverages the following layers stacked together:
1)Modular layer: Manages dependencies between bundles
2) Life cycle layer: controls the life cycle of the bundles
3) Service layers: defines a dynamic model of communication between various modules
4) Actual services: this is the application layer, using all other layers
5) Security layer: optional, leverages Java 2 security architecture and manages permissions
from
different modules.
ZigBee is a standard that addresses the need for very low-cost implementation of Low power devices
with Low data rates for short-range wireless communications. Its most famous application is in
Amazon Echo.
Zigbee devices: 1)Zigbee Coordinator Device: It communicates with routers. This device is used for
connecting the devices.
2)Zigbee Router: It is used for passing the data between devices.
3) Zigbee End Device: It is the device that is going to be controlled.
● The ZigBee specification supports star and two kinds of peer-to-peer topologies, mesh and cluster
tree.
1) Star Topology (ZigBee Smart Energy): Consists of a coordinator and several end devices, end devices
communicate only with the coordinator.
2)Mesh Topology (Self Healing Process): Mesh topology consists of one coordinator, several routers,
and end devices.also called peer to peer.
3)Tree Topology: In this topology, the network consists of a central node which is a coordinator, several
routers, and end devices. the function of the router is to extend the network coverage.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence(AI) plays a vital role in enhancing the capabilities of smart home
ecosystems. AI algorithms enable intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and personalized user
experiences. Machine learning algorithms can learn user preferences and adapt the system accordingly.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) enables voice control and interaction with the smart home
ecosystem. The integration of AI technologies brings advanced automation and convenience to
homeowners.
