A Secure and Intelligent Smart Home Controlling System

Abstract

As a result of technological progress, people’s standard of living has improved and is continuing to do so in a variety of ways. Automation is the central idea in contemporary technology, and increasingly, automation technologies are taking the place of human operators. There are currently 4.8 billion people using the internet, or 60% of the global population, and around 87500 people join the internet every single day. The concept of an interconnected network of devices known as the “internet of things” expanded swiftly along with the expansion of the internet user population. The proliferation of IoT-enabled smart home gadgets is largely responsible for this shift. Although technology has advanced, it is still entirely dependent on human input. In addition, the current crop of smart home control systems is narrowly focused, mostly on a handful of security-related tasks such as monitoring, management, and the like. Research into existing solutions revealed that end customers wished for a less complex, more accessible, and cheaper method of controlling their smart homes; hence, we propose a smart home control system that meets these needs while being affordable and user-friendly. This paper presents cutting-edge investigation into the concept of a smart house, which can not only be used to manage appliances but also to open and close gates based on the user’s GPS location and to minimize energy consumption by automatically switching on and off equipment. Furthermore, the produced solution has increased security by implementing a biometric authentication system, a mobile application has been developed on the android platform, and user testing has shown the solution’s significance and validated the proof of concept.
