People with severe disabilities may have difficulties when interacting with their home devices due to the limitations inherent to their disability. Simple home activities may even be impossible for this group of people. Although much work has been devoted to proposing new assistive technologies to improve the lives of people with disabilities, some studies have found that the abandonment of such technologies is quite high. This work presents a new assistive system based on eye tracking for controlling and monitoring a smart home, based on the Internet of Things, which was developed following concepts of user-centered design and usability. With this system, a person with severe disabilities was able to control everyday equipment in her residence, such as lamps, television, fan, and radio. In addition, her caregiver was able to monitor remotely, by Internet, her use of the system in real time. Additionally, the user interface developed here has some functionalities that allowed improving the usability of the system as a whole. The experiments were divided into two steps. In the first step, the assistive system was assembled in an actual home where tests were conducted with 29 participants without disabilities. In the second step, the system was tested with online monitoring for seven days by a person with severe disability (end-user), in her own home, not only to increase convenience and comfort, but also so that the system could be tested where it would in fact be used. At the end of both steps, all the participants answered the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, which showed that both the group of participants without disabilities and the person with severe disabilities evaluated the assistive system with mean scores of 89.9 and 92.5, respectively.

In the past years, the scene has witnessed huge technological progress which made our lives simpler and flixper. After Wi-Fi and cellular communications networks’ improvements, with the parallel optimization of numerous embedded devices, momentum has risen globally and today gave us a concept that is the IoT or the Internet of Things. Where several contemporary technologies have been utilized and the developers have been advancing structures to collect data from sensor systems that may be sent to any part of the world over the Internet. The Internet of Things can be used for many purposes like controlling, tracking and managing systems. In this study, we presented the work of the MQTT internet routing protocol to exchange sensor information between two different devices. The IoT platform is about monitoring temperature and humidity in a smart home based on an MQTT protocol which makes this connection possible. However, the MQTT protocol works in publishing/ subscribing mode. The proposed work used an Esp8266NodeMCU as a publisher and Raspberry pi3 model (B) as a subscriber. Also, it used a dht11 sensor to measure the temperatures and humidity. The measurements were collected from sensors and alternated between the two devices through the MQTT broker (server). Node-Red and ThingSpeak designed as a website to share the data.

This article is about developing a security assessment system for smart homes that use Internet of Things technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a nascent paradigm focused on the relationship of things or devices to each other and users. Over time, most connections on the Internet of Things go from «people interact with things» to «things interact with things». This technology is expected to be an important milestone in the development of smart homes to bring convenience and efficiency to our lives and our homes. But the introduction of this IoT technology in our homes will be important for the safety of these technologies. Connecting all smart objects inside the house to the Internet and to each other leads to new security and privacy issues, such as the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the data that is perceived and exchanged. These technologies are very vulnerable to various security attacks that make a smart home based on IoT unsafe to live in, so security risks need to be assessed to assess the situation of smart homes. For any technology to be successful and widely used, it must gain the trust of users, ensuring sufficient security and confidentiality. As in all sectors, maintaining security will be the most important challenge to overcome. As homes become more computerized and filled with devices, potential computer security attacks and their impact on residents need to be investigated. This paper uses a methodology that focuses mainly on information assets and examines containers (technical, physical and human) and conducts security risk assessments to highlight various security vulnerabilities in the smart home based on the Internet of Things, the consequences and proposing measures against identified problems. that meet most safety requirements. Finally, it offers recommendations for users.

The paper proposing the cloud based internet of things for the smart connected objects, concentrates on developing a smart home utilizing the internet of things, by providing the embedded labeling for all the tangible things at home and enabling them to be connected through the internet. The smart home proposed in the paper concentrates on the steps in reducing the electricity consumption of the appliances at the home by converting them into the smart connected objects using the cloud based internet of things and also concentrates on protecting the house from the theft and the robbery. The proposed smart home by turning the ordinary tangible objects into the smart connected objects shows considerable improvement in the energy consumption and the security provision.

Smart home is one of the most promising applications of the Internet of Things. Although there have been studies about this technology in recent years, the adoption rate of smart homes is still low. One of the largest barriers is technological fragmentation within the smart home ecosystem. Currently, there are many protocols used in a connected home, increasing the confusion of consumers when choosing a product for their house. One possible solution for this fragmentation is to make a gateway to handle the diverse protocols as a central hub in the home. However, this solution brings about another issue for manufacturers: compatibility. Because of the various smart devices on the market, supporting all possible devices in one gateway is also an enormous challenge. In this paper, we propose a software architecture for a gateway in a smart home system to solve the compatibility problem. By creating a mechanism to dynamically download and update a device profile from a server, the gateway can easily handle new devices. Moreover, the proposed gateway also supports unified control over heterogeneous networks. We implemented a prototype to prove the feasibility of the proposed gateway architecture and evaluated its performance from the viewpoint of message execution time over heterogeneous networks, as well as the latency for device profile downloads and updates, and the overhead needed for handling unknown commands.

The internet of things is nothing but the interconnection of a number of systems or objects in which the internal circuit consists of a number of sensors and connectors. The main aim of the internet of things is to transfer information and to make an interaction between the systems. Through IoT, all the systems can be sensed and all the home appliances will be controlled remotely through a mobile device. It creates an integration of more and more networks in the future. The IoT is a very important emerging technology nowadays in which the main applications of IoT are smart grids, smart homes, etc. As the number of devices was increasing nowadays IoT plays a very significant role in present society. So, the challenges were increasing and there will be a machine to machine communication and also with the user. It reduces human efforts as it is machine-dependent. It acts according to the instructions given by the user.

With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Homes, there is an ever-growing amount of data coming from within people’s houses. These data are intrinsically private and should be treated carefully, despite their high value for analysis. In this work, we propose a differentially private strategy to estimate frequencies of values in the context of Smart Home data.
