IoT Based Smart Home Using Edge computing

Abstract

Smart home concept has been there for many years and played a very important part in the design and implementation of future homes. The main agenda of home automation are controlling, management, and coordination of home appliances in a comfortable, effective and secure way. The various sensors are used which are specialized in measuring temperature, humidity, light, gas leakages, fire detection, and actuators which helps in t h e conservation of energy. With billions of devices coming online, in this data-rich world enabled by the Internet of things cloud computing won’t be able to handle the load. For mission-critical applications where time is of essence network latency is a very critical issue, using Edge computing in home automation eradicates latency related failures and data is filtered processed locally rather than sending it to a data center i.e it is not necessary to store the data in the central cloud by doing this we can prevent cyber-attacks and leakage of personal details. The essence of home automation is security and accessibility, which can be fulfilled by Edge Computing.
