Smart house : Engineering an IoT system

Smart houses introduced people with home automation that resulted in many positive features for home users. Using Internet of Things devices and computer networks, home automation and remote access became core features of a smart house. The objective of this thesis was to build and study a custom built smart house solution. To complete the objectives a practical implementation method was used. This method allowed testing out how smart house market-related problems were addressed in a custom built smart house solution. Smart house market-related problems that were studied during the thesis project implementation were scalability, flexibility, security, price and the complexity of the solution. This thesis project implementation was completed successfully. A custom built smart house solution was created and studied. The study showed that created solution was scalable, flexible, secure, cheap, but complex to build for users that lacks knowledge about the information technology and smart house field. The more scalable, flexible, secure the smart house solution was designed to be, the more complex it became to implement
