An Internet Of Things Based Smart Home

Résumé: Internet of things or simply "IoT" is a system of interrelated computing devices that allow objects to connect to each other; Devices, machines, objects, even animals and people can be part of this system just by having a unique identifier and a way to transmit data throughout network without any manual intervention. Nowadays, IoT is invading many areas and has different domain of applications such as healthcare, smart city, security and automation. Smart house is a major application system and essential in automation. It's a really efficient way to ensure power saving, comfier life and most important: security. Security inside houses has been a major problem for decades, not only incidents like theft and burglary which are common things nowadays, but also gas poisoning. Estimations says that more than two thousand die in Africa only from gas leaks inside houses which brings the topic of smart house to the table. This project has the aim of making a solution for the gas poisoning problem, by implementing a software and a hardware solution throughout an IoT system. The first half consist of equipping the house with actuators and sensors that would do the required job whenever a leak occurs, and then the software solution consists of mobile application that allows monitoring of the system and control the actuators and of course receiving alerts. This solution is based on Wi-Fi technology to permit access to data anytime anywhere in the world and also cloud computing technology for data processing and storage.
