Published:21 January 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Aging society has expanded and sprawled to every nation in this world expeditiously. Number of elder has been increasing rapidly in contrast to the new born and birth rate. They have been decreasing continually with high significance. This phenomenon is causing social concerns among younger generations over their elderly family members e.g. parents or grandparents. Unattended residence with home alone elderly people is a challenging problem for new generation workers to worry and to solve. Thanks to the rise and advancement of 5G mobile network powered with the significant potentiality of Internet of Things (IOT) technology, these 2 factors are driving and shaping the concept of making smart home leap forward. Smart home, this idea has been widely adopted by worldwide home owners aimed to make a better living for the residence. Elderly people and unattended property are 2 target groups objective to get helpful services from this smart home concept. This work is an implementation of IOT sensors integrated with mobile application to create a smart home system to support unattended residence and to prevent unwanted incidents e.g. fire, smoke, and gas leak. Moreover, this smart home system enables users to fully control all home electronic devices over the Internet e.g. light bulbs, door lock and coffee machine. Each sensor and circuit board communicate to each other over the cloud base platform.
