| 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 percent for
remote access and 97 percent accuracy as per the voice
command. The initial use of the security system gave a False
Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0% and a False Rejection Rate
(FRR) of less than 1%. The main benefit of the suggested
solution is still in its cost and implementation benefits as
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 and security, among other aspects. | en_US |
