Abstract:
In present days, home devices with network capabilities are widely used and augmented for delivering several Home Services (HS) to more end users. The technology integration offers new and exciting opportunities to increase the device connectivity within a home for many proposals of home automation. This paper is designed and implemented for a cost effective, flexible, manageable home automation system. The proposed system consists of three main components: a device
control using a micro controller (e.g., Raspberry PI with control circuit), a notification system (Social network integration) and a user control from anywhere, any time and any device. This system can support a wide range of home appliances
connecting through the network as the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. A user is able to easily control home automation system by several ubiquitous devices. Air conditioners and fans are sample devices to be controlled by our system in order to demonstrate the simplicity and effectiveness that will save usage energy.
