Smart home design with IoT (Home automation)

Smart home's conception has been growing topic in our modern community. The content of smart automated items, such as home electronic devices, communicate together with users. These devices are quite expensive when compared to non-intelligent devices. In this thesis, a Home Automation system has been studied and developed to automate existing appliances by supporting them with modern smart technology. In this effective way, the cost can be lowered with upgrading the automating system instead of replacing entire the items. A Home Automation System has been implemented and designed to solve several common issues in this thesis. IoT security items have been investigated with the smart house (Home Automation) and clarified to become a basic stage of the Home Automation system. Smart home (Home Automation) application is designed to monitor and secure the home security sensors. An application has been performed to monitor and control the smart home system. The system is based on hardware and software components (such as Arduino Mega 2560) and can be acted as a security guard of the home. The system has been designed to monitor the humidity, temperature, light, gas, fire, burglar alarm in the house and has a passive-infrared sensor to make sure that the family in safe. Sensors have used on windows and doors to monitoring any an unauthorized intruder or in case of forgetting to close it. In addition, the system is also connected with GSM system (Global System for Mobile communication) to send notification SMS message (Short Message Service) to specific destinations in case of detecting something from sensors while "the system activated" mode on. The system (equipment of the home design) also has been controlled by using android application via Bluetooth.
