User authenticated smart home automation system with healthcare

Abstract

Traditional home automation is inconvenient for aging people. Biometric based personalized smart phone secures smart home automation. Internet of Things (IoT) is envisioned as a promising solution in the thrusting arenas of healthcare, industries, home automation and other domains due to its significant contribution towards connectivity, security, sleek design, low power, low cost and low workforce. This has come a long way industrially and is making an impact in the domestic market after Covid-19 pandemic. Social distancing and contact less solution is the need of the hour. Life style of people has changed from home to workplace such as remote monitoring, collaborative online work-place and online classes. This has increased the economic status of the home automation products manufacturing industry. User Authenticated Smart Home Automation with Healthcare Architecture considers security along with healthcare. This takes into account IoT reusable design concept that uses in-built user specific biometrics in smart phone for secured authentication. IoT based electronics and electrical devices are remotely monitored. The user activity is monitored and archived for future retrieval. An ambient temperature is maintained to make sure that the devices are operated in near ideal circumstances to avoid thermal throttling and this extends the lifetime of the devices. Thermal throttling causes serious threats to the devices and to the human being. In the proposed User Authenticated Smart Home Automation System with Healthcare, smart home is secured using user specific biometric authentication; sanitizer is provided and temperature is measured on entry; thermal throttling due to devices is prevented by maintaining the room temperature thereby providing healthcare.
