This report considers a burgeoning strand of scholarship that foregrounds the mundane in engagements with the digital. Research concerned with the digital mundane attends to the ordinary and often taken-for-granted digital objects, practices, productions, and sites that significantly both mediate and are mediated by everyday lives and spatialities. Methodological innovations are advancing new techniques for researching mundane digital objects that participate in the internet of things, everyday spaces of the smart home, banal landscapes of data and digital infrastructures, and quotidian quantifications/datafications of the self. The proliferation of these methods also informs feminist scholarly praxes of digital iteration.

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.

The livability standard still has not considered the chaos city that may stem from or lead to cities of hardship. This chapter rectifies this by making the phenomena of chaos and hardship the centerpiece of the analysis. It depends on the internally displaced persons (IDPs) to display the characteristics of liability and the hardship of living and be the indicators of chaos city. This chapter addresses the non-perceptible processes of the IDPs from outside and inside Cairo in Egypt. This internal displacement supposes the lead-in to chaotic changes in the lifestyles of the cities; it can even be said that they become cities of hardship. The theoretical reading depends on conventional and digital methods (content analysis and the internet of things) to follow these changes, which occur not only due to migrations but also due to ignoring decentralization. The outcomes provide an action plan to create cities free from hardship, displacement, and chaos.

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.

The comfort and safety of a house is the dream of any home owner, even a house that has a modern security system will be more in demand than a house with an ordinary security system. By utilizing existing technology, it is possible to create an excellent security system from theft and fire. In order to overcome these problems, a prototype of a security threat detection system was made using telegrams based on the internet of things. This can minimize the inconvenience of home owners when they are not at home in a long time, such as the owner of the house going out of town or abroad. The design of this smart home uses the NodeMCU ESP8266 Wifi Module as a controller, the telegram application as a notification when an unknown person opens a door or window, and when a fire occurs. The sensor used to detect the security of burglars is a Magnetic Door Switch, this sensor is placed on doors and windows. The sensor used to detect fire indications is the Flame Sensor which is placed on the ceiling of the house
