Design of low power mobile application for Smart Home

Design and implementation of smart home app is one of Internet-of-Things (IoT) topic which need to be explored more. Its major challenges are about capability on automatic adjustment with various operating system (OS), simple, efficient, compact and interactive. One of the most important issue is the battery consumption. Hence, this research aims is to develop an Android based low-power mobile application for smart home. This application design covers multi-control scheme (i.e. hard-control, soft-control and monitoring). Meanwhile, in order to investigate the battery consumption, we analyze few aspects, namely the effect of idle-active condition and difference color theme (i.e. red, green and blue).
