Smart home advisory system based on IoT-enabled sensor network

Abstract

A consistent drive to make daily living more streamlined and less complex was critical throughout the industrial revolution. Although many applications are available, the general adoption of these applications is hindered by several factors (security concerns, expensive costs, and perceived usefulness). Hence, a cost-efficient smart home system can provide significant advantages without placing unnecessary financial or operational costs on consumers. This study proposed an inexpensive internet of things (IoT) enabled smart home advisory system for promoting healthier living conditions. The system contained numerous sensors for detecting surrounding brightness, temperature, humidity, and dust levels. Consequently, the system demonstrated effective real-time updates regarding the simulated temperature (22–32 °C), humidity (11–53 %RH), light (3–100 lx), and dust (0–278 mg/m3) environments. Blynk software was also embedded as an efficient user interface for the application. Overall, the lowcost IoT-enabled smart home advisory system offered concrete benefits by allowing users to improve their living surroundings while decreasing energy usage.
