Internet of Things (IoT) for building smart home system

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that is making our world smarter. The idea of connected world cannot be imagined without IoT. An IoT based Smart Home is one such example. In IoT enabled Smart Home environment various things such as lighting, home appliances, computers, security camera etc. all are connected to the Internet and allowing user to monitor and control things regardless of time and location constraint. This paper describes Frugal Labs IoT Platform (FLIP) for building IoT enabled Smart Home. This paper discusses functions of Smart Home and its applications and introduces FLIP architecture with implementation of Smart Home services using FLIP through a proposed system. The proposed system presented in this paper is used for monitoring and controlling Smart Home environment.
