A Novel Secure IoT-Based Smart Home Automation System Using a Wireless Sensor Network.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide noteworthy benefits over traditional approaches for several applications, including smart homes, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and homeland security. WSNs are integrated with the Internet Protocol (IP) to develop the Internet of Things (IoT) for connecting everyday life objects to the internet. Hence, major challenges of WSNs include: (i) how to efficiently utilize small size and low-power nodes to implement security during data transmission among several sensor nodes; (ii) how to resolve security issues associated with the harsh and complex environmental conditions during data transmission over a long coverage range. In this study, a secure IoT-based smart home automation system was developed. To facilitate energy-efficient data encryption, a method namely Triangle Based Security Algorithm (TBSA) based on efficient key generation mechanism was proposed. The proposed TBSA in integration of the low power Wi-Fi were included in WSNs with the Internet to develop a novel IoT-based smart home which could provide secure data transmission among several associated sensor nodes in the network over a long converge range. The developed IoT based system has outstanding performance by fulfilling all the necessary security requirements. The experimental results showed that the proposed TBSA algorithm consumed less energy in comparison with some existing methods.

Smart Home: Controlling and Monitoring Households Appliances using GSM Network

This study discussed about using the smart home automation systems for household appliances such as lights and fans, by utilizing the GSM network as a communication medium to control and monitor the household appliances. In this study, the simulations were performed by the two following modes 1). Self-automated and 2). Manually-automated. In controlling the lamp, the light intensity that values less than 280 lux will give response of turned ON the lamp, while if the value of light intensity is more than 280 lux, it will give a response of turned OFF the lamp. To control the fan, a room temperature value of more than or equal to 30 ° C will turn ON the fan, while the room temperature value which is less than 30 ° C will turn OFF the fan. Simulations were performed by placing the devices in the room and operating it for three days. The test and simulation results were recorded in the form of log files or history files. The self-automated operations mode controlled the system using a sensor (Light Dependent Resistor and LM35 Sensor) unit to detect the environmental condition and take actions according to detected environmental condition. In the manually-automated operation mode, user could control the household appliances according to the user’s intention. The light intensity values obtained in the morning were equal to 280 lux, so it will turn off the lights. The room temperature obtained was in the range of 28oC - 33oC; the fan will turn on if the temperature value is equal to or more than 30oC.

A risk analysis of a smart home automation system

Enforcing security in Internet of Things environments has been identified as one of the top barriers for realizing the vision of smart, energy-efficient homes and buildings. In this context, understanding the risks related to the use and potential misuse of information about homes, partners, and end-users, as well as, forming methods for integrating security-enhancing measures in the design is not straightforward and thus requires substantial investigation. A risk analysis applied on a smart home automation system developed in a research project involving leading industrial actors has been conducted. Out of 32 examined risks, 9 were classified as low and 4 as high, i.e., most of the identified risks were deemed as moderate. The risks classified as high were either related to the human factor or to the software components of the system. The results indicate that with the implementation of standard security features, new, as well as, current risks can be minimized to acceptable levels albeit that the most serious risks, i.e., those derived from the human factor, need more careful consideration, as they are inherently complex to handle. A discussion of the implications of the risk analysis results points to the need for a more general model of security and privacy included in the design phase of smart homes. With such a model of security and privacy in design in place, it will contribute to enforcing system security and enhancing user privacy in smart homes, and thus helping to further realize the potential in such IoT environments.

Implementation of Smart Homes and Industrial Automation System with Secure Communication over GSM

Home automation is method of controlling our house hold appliances, updating the status of lights, fans, motors and other appliances through any remote control device or mobile phones. Their ON/OFF status can be changed according to our desire. On the other hand, in present time, smart phones including android and iPhones are great inventions of technology. The awkwardness of hanging out along with a dedicated remote control device or texting an SMS for the automation purpose has always brought lake of interest in the user's mind towards using such systems. Therefore, in this activity we are introducing a smart home and industrial automation and surveillance system in which we control our appliances through an application installed in our smart phone which uses the available Global System for Mobile (GSM) features from any remote location within our planet, subject to the availability of GSM network. In other words the cumbersome of carrying dedicated separate remote control device and texting the SMS has been eliminated. For surveillance purpose, we used a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) camera, which uploads the picture or video streaming instantly in any website or sends it to the personal computer system. On the other hand the same purpose can be achieved by using any available software which could help communicating from any end station to PC. Each of these ideas is discussed in great detail in the paper. The proposed system is low in cost and we can reinstall it in any other location by only minor changes in its core. The proposed research work is very helpful for the layman and also to make life more comfortable and luxurious.

DoMAIns: Domain-based modeling for Ambient Intelligence

Ambient Intelligence and Smart Home Automation systems are currently emerging as feasible and ready to exploit solutions to support more intelligent features inside future and current homes. Thanks to increased availability of off-the-shelf components and to relatively easy to implement solutions we are experiencing a steady evolution of households, causing an ever-increasing users’ awareness of the capabilities of such innovative environments. To foster effective adoption of Smart Home Automation technologies in our home environments, traditional architectural and plant design must be complemented by sound design methodologies and tools, supporting the whole environment design cycle, including for example modeling, simulation and emulation, as well as, when feasible, formal model-checking and verification. Several research efforts have already addressed the design of expressive modeling tools, mostly based on Semantic Web technologies, as well as of suitable platforms for adding interoperation and rule-based intelligence to home environments. This paper proposes a new modeling methodology designed to fit the different phases of Intelligent Environments design, with a particular focus on validation and verification of the whole system. Carefully designed separation of modeled entities permits to exploit the DoMAIns framework during all phases of the environment design, from early abstract conception to the final in-field deployment. The DoMAIns design methodology is applied to a sample use case that involves comprehensive modeling and simulation of a Bank Security Booth, including the environment, the control algorithms, the automation devices and the user. Results show that the approach is feasible and that can easily handle different types of environment modeling, required in the different design phases, and for each of them it may support simulation, emulation, or other verification techniques.

Link-Adaptive Physical Layer for Indoor Broadband Power-Line Communications

Increasing interest in smart home automation systems or home networks has driven the use of low-voltage power lines as a high-speed data channel. Since this type of power line is not designed for communication purposes, the channel exhibits unfavorable transmission properties. In this paper, a novel orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing-based physical-layer architecture for indoor broadband power-line communications is proposed. For the design of the layer, a new constellation for bit-mapping (or modulation) is introduced to increase the transmission rate over a sudden phase-shift-prone channel. In addition, a simple bit-loading scheme is adopted and a new preamble for a packet-based power-line communication system is proposed. The proposed layer is implemented as a type of testbed, and is field-tested in labs and in residential homes. The test results demonstrate that the proposed system has good channel adaptivity and achieves high transmission rates.
