Internet of Things based Smart Home System Design for Individuals with Disabilities

Abstract

Research on smart homes has recently shown rapid advances with the developments in the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, smart devices, sensors, new generation communication technologies and Internet protocols. The use of these technological developments at home has enabled individuals with disabilities to be independent and comfortable in their smart homes. In this study, an accessible smart home system is proposed for physically disabled, elderly and sick individuals. The proposed smart home system includes indoor ventilation, lighting and gas control and entry-exit controlling components. Restrictive situations at home are prevented or alleviated by adding features such as voice command, self-management and remote control to all of these components with an loT-enabled approach. © 2021 IEEE
