Several home automation systems have been rapidly introduced in the recent years. However, the consumer adoption of home automation systems has been immensely slow. Moreover, most home automation systems available in the market are designed for western countries and do not have certain features that are crucial for consumers in tropical countries like Malaysia. Therefore, this paper identifies the possible criteria for this slow adoption and evaluates the potential of Intel Galileo for addressing these problems. Four popular home automation technologies are analysed and surveys are conducted to identify the needs of electricity and water consumers in Malaysia. A low cost, secure, user-friendly, easily installed and flexible Intel Galileo based home automation system that caters the needs of Malaysians is presented. The system is integrated with an Android application and uses a Wi-Fi network. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system, the design and prototype implementation of a basic home automation system based on the Intel Galileo is developed and evaluated based on several tests and interviews. The proposed system can be used as a reference to increase consumer adoption of home automation systems in tropical countries.

This paper presents the intelligent Home Automation System (HAS) for disabled people, since still now facilities for disabled people are insufficient around the world. Numerous researchers developed different technologies considering Bluetooth technology, ZigBee system, and Wifi technology. However, these topologies lack efficient support for disabled people. Therefore, to engage the disabled people with the modern technology and make their life safe, secure and comfortable, authors have introduced the Rasberry Pi 3 Model B with Blynk application which is able to control the home appliances from their smart android phone. In this research, the motion of the intruder has been considered as the key parameters and HOG method is used to detect the motion. Experimental validation of the proposed model implies that this process is more secure and user-friendly for disabled people compare to other existing technology. Therefore, the main contribution of this research is to develop a secured automated system, which will enable the disabled people to control the home appliances and thus overcome the limitation of the existing technology

The home automation system is indeed a system that offers a mobile application to monitor it through the smartphone or tablet. It can control home appliances like light, fans, air conditions, and smart security locks, etc. Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is used for remote control of things. Smart home is essentially how it looks: automating with such an easy touch of a button or a voice command the ability to manage things across the home. Several operations were both simple and extremely low-cost, such as setting up a light to turn on and off at the time of your moment. Others need much more money and resources, including advanced spy cameras. Some people thought that technology is taking a really huge part of our lives. It does! we’re living in a modern generation where smart and intelligent systems are necessary to be there wherever we are to make our lives easier and much better, for example, we can do many things faster, better, and more accurate.

Home Automation Systems are mainly targeted towards people with physical difficulties for movement. The proposed Voice Assisted Home Automation System (VAHAS) enables one to control all electrical equipment and peripheral devices by means of just one’s voice. By means of interfacing the devices (which could include lights, televisions, air conditioners and so on) with the Linux powered main device running our software, via RF enabled switches, the system responds to the user’s voice commands and intelligently activates, deactivates and changes the state of the appliances. The paper elucidates the actual implementation of a low cost device and shows the results produced by the system. Scalability and customer accessibility of the system is also considered during design.
