The trend towards smart cities that use devices based on IOT has been rapidly adopted across the globe. The devices in the smart cities are connected to database and key features include convenience, economical, and most importantly secure. In this paper a biometric authentication based automated secure and smart IOT door lock is developed. The access to authorized user is accomplished by face recognition. Further a provision for passcode based authentication and access has also been incorporated. The proposed door lock takes care of the user comfort by eliminating the need of carrying keys or RFID cards.
