Survey of IoT-Based Smart Home Approaches

Smart homes turned out to be the new developing wave of technical growth. It is a combination of smaller systems linked to the home network, containing several communication technologies that can support the comfort, safety, security, and convenience that can enhance residents’ lifestyle. In this paper, we overview how the Internet of Things (IoT) is integrated with Artificial Intelligence to abstract the idea of remotely connecting and monitoring physical objects within smart houses and how it can effectively provide the best solutions for home efficiency and energy management, plus consumer electronic device control and comfortability. We summarize and compare the state of the art approaches and discuss the technical challenges in this field.
