A Low-Cost Home Automation System Based-On Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) aims to merge human, physical object environments, and internet in one connection and package. This interconnectivity allows them to create a device that can monitor, analyze, control, and automate. Internet of things-based home automation system is applied to fulfill one of the ways to develop technology nowadays. In this paper, we presented the design of a low-cost home automation system by collaborating both Arduino UNO R3 and Jubito, which is the front-end of jaNET framework. All of the utilsed tools and applications are open-source platforms, so the developers can develop more applications or projects. The boundaries of this work are how to switch lamps on or off, and how to open and close doors by applying servo motors. Home automation system, named as Homion, could be accessed through either local network or internet. The system had been implemented and tested on a house prototype.
