Guideline-Based Approach for IoT Home Application Development

The idea of Smart Home is turning into a pattern with more home appliances and sensors interconnected into a single home infrastructure. The objective of IoT Home application is to make living more secure, convenient, and carefree by implementing software and hardware development. However, IoT Home application development process is different from normal software development as it additionally involves smart devices and hardware aspect to it. Even though there have been some scattered guidelines identified for IoT Home application development in various sources, they do not cover all the phases involved, including both software and hardware development. This paper proposes a guideline-based approach that provides comprehensive instructions and best practices to assist software developers for a more efficient development process of IoT Home applications.
