摘要：Internet of Things (IoTs) offer significant benefits to various applications, including homes automation (HA), environmental monitoring, healthcare, homeland security, agriculture, and many others. Consequently, the trend of IoTs is rapidly evolving in many new sectors leading to higher comfort, better quality of life, and conveniences that can offer optimum consumption of valuable resources for the users. This paper presents a low-cost and flexible HA system that uses different sensors and other resources to control commonly used home appliances and connected devices by establishing IP connectivity to access, manage, and monitor them remotely. To enable remote access, an android-based application was developed to monitor and control the home devices. Edge computing (EC) platform is used in the proposed system to enhance reliability and robustness when the computation offloading is required. The system operates automatically according to the environmental conditions in the home based on the home occupants’ requirements. The outcomes of the proposed system reveal that it greatly supports the concept of smart HA and capable to significantly reduces the wastage of electricity via optimum utilization.
