TL;DR: The overall design of Home Automation System (HAS) with low cost and wireless remote control, intended to control electrical appliances and devices in house with relatively low cost design, user-friendly interface and ease of installation.
Abstract: This paper presents the overall design of Home Automation System (HAS) with low cost and wireless remote control. This system is designed to assist and provide support in order to fulfill the needs of elderly and disabled in home. Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard living at home. The main control system implements wireless Bluetooth technology to provide remote access from PC/laptop or smart phone. The design remains the existing electrical switches and provides more safety control on the switches with low voltage activating method. The switches status is synchronized in all the control system whereby every user interface indicates the real time existing switches status. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in house with relatively low cost design, user-friendly interface and ease of installation.

TL;DR: Results from this study found that the system was successfully produced where it was able to control any of the wireless switches at a distance of approximately 25 meter radius from the main controller.
Abstract: This paper describes the Smart Home System for Disabled People via Bluetooth Wireless. Smart home system for disable people is the system called assistive domestics focuses on making it possible for the disabled to motivate them carry out the daily activity, safe and comfortable. However in our research work, we attempt to design the smart home system including the wireless controller via Bluetooth technology. This software application adapt in mobile phone, PDA, mobile computer (Samsung Galaxy Tab) using android's operating system (OS). This software application will control the electrical appliances switches wirelessly (Bluetooth). Results from this study found that the system was successfully produced where it is able to control any of the wireless switches at a distance of approximately 25 meter radius from the main controller. The system is seen potentially be used in hospitals, home care for the elderly and facilities for disabled users.

TL;DR: The proposed system does not require a dedicated server PC with respect to similar systems and offers a novel communicat ion protocol to monitor and control the home environment with more than just the switching functionality.
Abstract: Th is paper presents a low cost and flexib le home control and monitoring system using an embedded micro-web server, with IP connectivity for accessing and controlling devices and appliances remotely using Android based Smart phone app. The proposed system does not require a dedicated server PC with respect to similar systems and offers a novel communicat ion protocol to monitor and control the home environment with more than just the switching functionality. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this system, devices such as light switches, power p lug, temperature sensor and current sensor have been integrated with the proposed home control system.

TL;DR: It was revealed that home healthcare service was one of the main application areas of IoT in healthcare, and the main challenges of Internet of Things in healthcare were security and privacy issues.
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem that integrates physical objects, software and hardware to interact with each other. Aging of population, shortage of healthcare resources, and rising medical costs make IoT-based technologies necessary to be tailored to address these challenges in healthcare. This systematic literature review has been conducted to determine the main application area of IoT in healthcare, components of IoT architecture in healthcare, most important technologies in IoT, characteristics of cloud-based architecture, security and interoperability issues in IoT architecture and effects, and challenges of IoT in healthcare. Sixty relevant papers, published between 2000 and 2016, were reviewed and analyzed. This analysis revealed that home healthcare service was one of the main application areas of IoT in healthcare. Cloud-based architecture, by providing great flexibility and scalability, has been deployed in most of the reviewed studies. Communication technologies including wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, radio-frequency identification (RFID), ZigBee, and Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPAN) were frequently used in different IoT models. The studies regarding the security and interoperability issues in IoT architecture in health are still low in number. With respect to the most important effects of IoT in healthcare, these included ability of information exchange, decreasing stay of hospitalization and healthcare costs. The main challenges of IoT in healthcare were security and privacy issues.

TL;DR: The smart home app is tested and it is able to successfully perform the smart home operations such as switching functionalities, automatic environmental control and intrusion detection, in the later case where an email is generated and the siren goes on.
Abstract: This paper presents a flexible standalone, low-cost smart home system, which is based on the Android app communicating with the micro-web server providing more than the switching functionalities. The Arduino Ethernet is used to eliminate the use of a personal computer (PC) keeping the cost of the overall system to a minimum while voice activation is incorporated for switching functionalities. Devices such as light switches, power plugs, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, current sensors, intrusion detection sensors, smoke/gas sensors and sirens have been integrated in the system to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed smart home system. The smart home app is tested and it is able to successfully perform the smart home operations such as switching functionalities, automatic environmental control and intrusion detection, in the later case where an email is generated and the siren goes on.
