A Review on IoT Based Smart Security And Home Automation

Abstract

Recent advances in smartphones and affordable open-source hardware platforms have enabled the development of low-cost architectures for Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled home automation and security systems. These systems usually consist of sensing and actuating layer that is made up of sensors such as passive infrared sensors, also known as motion sensors; temperature sensors; smoke sensors, and web cameras for security surveillance. These sensors, smart electrical appliances, and other IoT devices connect to the Internet through a home gateway. This project is based on implementation of an IoT based home security system, to be able to control entrance from anywhere in the world is the major aim of this project and at same time it should be secured, and this was achieved with the use of Internet of things and some other electronics components. An automatic door control system working through a mobile app and also through a keypad was achieved. IoT refers to the infrastructure of connected physical devices which is growing at a rapid rate as a huge number of devices and objects are getting associated with the Internet. Home security is a very useful application of IoT and we are using it to create an inexpensive security system for homes as well as industrial use.
