Abstract

The etymology of the word safety means: lack of danger; feeling of peace and confidence; shelter from any danger; feeling of security. A security system of goods, values and protection of people can be implemented through an automated platform, under the name of Home Assistant. This server software application can communicate with an easy control system for fast and two-way access, which can be mounted to a restricted main entrance. The automatic opening of the access door is controlled both by stand-alone RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) modules, which act on an electric closing mechanism, and by an automation system configured in the Home Assistant application. The ultimate goal is the security of the premises through a system that can operate both locally and online via internet connection. The research methodology was based on the study of intelligent applications for residential access, described in the literature, aiming at integration into the open-source HA platform, by developing new code sequences. I come with this paper in support of those who want to bring an improvement in the existing automation system, respectively to encourage those who want an automated residence at a higher level.

Highlights

  • Information and technology are growing exponentially, in an accentuated rhythm

  • Regardless of the hardware system chosen for Home Assistant, it can be configured in two ways: the first is through a Docker container or console, an option recommended for experienced users, and the second way is to install the HASS.io operating system [4]

  • Among them we can mention: - Centralization of smart IoT equipment from different manufacturers in a single platform - Ensuring a high availability of services, even in case of temporary / accidental interruption of the internet connection - Eliminating the vulnerability of a potential unauthorized access through the manufacturer's cloud service - The HA platform allows the permanent development of automation solutions for residential / industrial use by adding additional programs to meet new facilities, created by members of the open source community or creating custom codes using programming languages supported by the platform

Summary

Introduction

Information and technology are growing exponentially, in an accentuated rhythm. The technological environment creates opportunities to improve lives by modeling electronic devices with sensors. Almost any manufacturer of electronic equipment with WiFi connection offers a customized application, with access and control from your mobile phone or computer. This is a disadvantage if you use more than one device from different manufacturers. The automation platform, Home Assistant, is based on the dynamic programming language, Python 3, through which you can track and control all the devices in the house. The programming language, Python, was created in 1989 by the Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum, who was one of the best software developers, who was given the title of ”Benevolent dictator for life” (BDFL)
