   There are several researches related to home Automation Platform using IOT device. Along with this in the past, the research on the IOT has been made along with the study on various applications of internet of things. The growth of Internet of Things (IOT) in future is totally depending upon us.

   Ahmed ElShafee(2012)

   This paper has presented a design and prototype implementation of new home automation system that uses WiFi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts.

   Hence they concluded that the required goals and objectives of home automation system have been achieved. The system design and architecture were discussed, and prototype presents the basic level of home appliance control. and remote monitoring has been implemented. Finally, their system is better from the scalability and flexibility point of view than the commercially available home automation system[1].

   Vinay sagar K (2015)

   <>This system is designed to be low cost and expandable allowing a variety of devices to be controlle. The home automation using Internet of Things has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by connecting simple appliances to it and the appliances were successfully controlled remotely through internet. [2]

   Neha Malik(2017)

   The author discusses the various intelligent home automation system and technologies. The effort targeted on home automation concept where the controlling and monitoring operations are expediting through smart devices.[3]

   Shaikh Amreen(2017)

   They have discussed about architecture of home automation system. Also explained how internet of things are used for monitoring regular domestic conditions by sensing systems.[4]

   AnuragTiwari et al.(2017)

   The authors reviewed the Challenges and Ongoing Researches for IOT. The IOT systems are very common and are widespread. Therefore chances of security and privacy problems have become regular. Due to this all the things which are associated with internet may face safety issues. Due to the issue which is related to security and privacy IOT could not set himself as a reliable technology.[5]

   Satish Palaniappan(2015)

   Homes can be interfaced with sensors including motion sensors, light sensors and temperature sensors and provide automated toggling of devices based on conditions. More energy can be conserved by ensuring occupation of the house before turning on devices and checking brightness and turning off lights if not necessary. The system can be integrated closely with home security solutions to allow greater control and safety for home owners. The next step would be to extend this system to automate a large scale environment, such as offices and factories.[6]

5. IOT TECHNOLOGY & PROTOCOLS

   Several Communication Protocols and Technology used in the internet of Things. Some of the major IoT technology and protocol (IoT Communication Protocols) are Bluetooth, Wifi, Radio Protocols, LTE-A, and WiFi-Direct. These IoT communication protocols cater to and meet the specific functional requirement of an IoT system.

   1. Bluetooth

      An important short-range IoT communications Protocols / Technology. Bluetooth, which has become very important in computing and many consumer product markets. It is expected to be key for wearable products in particular, again connecting to the IoT albeit probably via a smartphone in many cases. The new Bluetooth Low- Energy (BLE) or Bluetooth Smart, as it is now branded is a significant protocol for IoT applications. Importantly, while it offers a similar range to Bluetooth it has been designed to offer significantly reduced power consumption.

   2. Zigbee

      ZigBee is similar to Bluetooth and is majorly used in industrial settings. It has some significant advantages in complex systems offering low-power operation, high security, robustness and high and is well positioned to take advantage of wireless control and sensor networks in IoT applications. The latest version of ZigBee is the recently launched 3.0, which is essentially the unification of the various ZigBee wireless standards into a single standard.

   3. Z-Wave

      Z-Wave is a low-power RF communications IoT technology that primarily design for home automation for products such as lamp controllers and sensors among many other devices. A Z-Wave uses a simpler protocol than some others, which can enable faster and simpler development, but the only maker of chips is Sigma Designs compared to multiple sources for other wireless technologies such as ZigBee and others.

   4. Wi-Fi

      WiFi connectivity is one of the most popular IoT communication protocol, often an obvious choice for many developers, especially given the availability of WiFi within the home environment within LANs. There is a wide existing infrastructure as well as offering fast data transfer and the ability to handle high quantities of data. Currently, the most common WiFi standard used in homes and many businesses is 802.11n, which offers range of hundreds of megabit per second, which is fine for file transfers but may be too power-consuming for many IoT applications.

   5. Cellular

      Any IoT application that requires operation over longer distances can take advantage of GSM/3G/4G cellular communication capabilities. While cellular is clearly capable of sending high quantities of data, especially for 4G, the cost and also power consumption will be too high for many applications. But it can be ideal for sensor-based low-bandwidth-data projects that will send very low amounts of data over the Internet.

   6. NFC

      NFC (Near Field Communication) is an IoT technology. It enables simple and safe communications between electronic devices, and specifically for smartphones, allowing consumers to perform transactions in which one does not have to be physically present. It helps the user to access digital content and connect electronic devices. Essentially it extends the capability of contactless card technology and enables devices to share information at a distance that is less than 4cm.

   7. LoRaWAN

      LoRaWAN is one of popular IoT Technology, targets wide-area network (WAN) applications. The LoRaWAN design to provide low-power WANs with features specifically needed to support low-cost mobile secure communication in IoT, smart city, and industrial applications. Specifically meets requirements for low- power consumption and supports large networks with millions and millions of devices, data rates range from 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps.

6. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

The IOT has a wider scope in every aspect of life. As we know that life of people is becoming more busy. So the use of IOT based appliances is increasing rapidly, because these devices or appliances are making our life fast and comfortable. There are different sector where iot based device are used such as Industry, commercial organisation, hospital, etc. Apart from the several use of IOT devices, these are used for home automation. Iot based home appliance can be easily managed from a distance. The

concept of Artificial intelligence and internet of things can be combined to make life more easier and comfortable.
