An IoT-Based Framework for Smart Homes

Intelligence and connectivity are critical in daily interactions and an interconnected world. The home environment is an essential space for applying such technological features, simplifying our lives, and improving the efficiency of routine tasks. In that aim, this paper proposes a framework taking advantage of the power of IoT-based devices to increase the functional aspects of common household elements, such as lighting and temperature control. The proposed framework employs IoT devices for data collection, a middleware layer for data normalization, and an analytics component for comprehensive data analysis specific to the targeted household. Beyond the evident improvements in accessibility and time management associated with mundane household tasks, the system is designed with adaptability in mind. Their results demonstrate the framework's suitability to be extended to a wide range of homes and spaces.
