Design and Implementation of an Internet of Things based Prototype for Smart Home Automation System

The concept of automation coupled with advancement in technology and Android based smart phones have resulted in refined and smart lifestyles. When automation as a concept gets implemented via internet of things (IoT) which is concerned with accumulation /aggregation of connectivity, it gives rise to a smarter home network. In this paper, an IoT based prototype of a smart home automation is designed and implemented. The proposed prototype smart home system along with its Android App and ATmega16 as its main controller is successfully implemented and the results of the implementation are presented.
