The Internet of Things is becoming an increasing part of our daily lives where we are encountering connected devices at every step, however, as part of this thesis, we only focused on the field of smart homes. These devices increase our comfort and safety, while also reducing our energy expenses.
To achieve these benefits in our home, we decided to set up a smart house system. After reviewing commercially available systems, we realised
that they do not meet our requirements, therefore we decided to develop our own solution.
The system contains connected devices that can be controlled via a web application which acts as a remote user interface, locally via switches and voice commands, or via an automation platform. In this thesis, we explain the shortcomings of commercial solutions and how to solve them. We include a detailed explanation of the system components, communication protocols, software and technologies used, and failure scenarios in which the system still operates.
