| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to create the smart home concept that is convenient and
safe and at the same time, energy efficient. The technologies that are being used in the
system include home automation, smart energy efficient appliances, voice recognition
and control, home monitoring through an application, smart security by fingerprint and
energy control. Using IoT, the system compels the homeowner to control and monitor
the various devices in the home with the objective of reaching the preferred level of
comfort and energy conservation. The smart security system employs fingerprints
for the identification of people, the same system gives alerts whenever there is an
intrusion. In addition, the temperature control option operates in cooperation with an
air cooler and a water heater, providing comfort while saving power. This is proven
in the result with a success rate of 99% for remote access and 97% accuracy as per
the voice command. The initial use of the security system gave a False Acceptance
Rate (FAR) of 0% and False Rejection Rate (FRR) of less than 1%. The main benefit
of the suggested solution is still in its cost and implementation benefits opposed to
the existing smart homes systems, as well as by the flexibility depending on the space.
Such implications have emerged to suggest that home automation has the ability to
transform conventional homes to be smart and efficient in energy use, security, among
other aspects. | en_US |
