Interoperable IoT Devices and Systems for Smart Homes: A Data Analytics Approach to Enhance User Experience and Energy Efficiency

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionised the way people live and work, and its increasing popularity has led to the widespread adoption of smart homes. However, the lack of interoperability among IoT devices and systems used in smart homes limits their capacity to enhance the user experience and improve energy efficiency. Therefore, this study focuses on improving interoperability between various IoT systems and devices. It was anticipated that the research would contribute to the creation of a more cohesive and integrated smart home environment by helping to develop a data analytics framework that enables the integration and analysis of data from various devices. The study then produces an intended user design strategy for smart homes that takes into account users' wants, preferences, and behaviours during the design phase. The goal of this project was to create smart houses that are more intelligent, environmentally green, and user-friendly and that will benefit both individuals and the whole society.
