Internet of Things (IoT) gives the idea of
connecting and monitoring real world objects remotely through
network such as Internet. IoT is constantly moving forward while
engulfing technologies like smart grids, smart homes, smart cities
etc. This concept can be aptly incorporated to make our homes
smarter, safer and automated.
IoT as a technology gives many advantages, to developer as
well as the end user, such as eliminating human to machine
interaction, self-configuring capabilities and much more.
In this paper, a system is proposed that can be implemented
for smart homes. This system uses various sensors such as PIR,
Glass Break, Laser sensor, integrated with Arduino and other
devices. The system can control elements of our home
environment such as lights and fans and provides security by
detecting intrusions. As the system provides security, energy
efficiency, comfort and ease of use, it is adopted more.
