Home Automation Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that imagines all objects around us as part of internet. IoT covers a very wide range of objects and includes variety of objects like smart phones, tablets, digital cameras and sensors. When all these devices are connected to one another, they enable more and more smart services and processes that support our everyday needs, environment and health. Cloud based platforms help to connect to the things around us so that we can access anything at any time and any place in a userfriendly manner using customized portals and built-in applications. Hence, cloud can be said to act as a front end to access IoT. Applications that interact with devices like sensors and digital cameras have special requirements for massive amounts of storage to store big data, huge computation power to enable the real time processing of the data into information. In this paper we present a Home Automation system (HAS) using Arduino Uno.
