Development of a prototype of an IoT based smart home with security system flutter mobile

This paper describes the development process of an IoT based Smart Home Security system prototype. The development of the prototype includes research on IoT based security systems and smart home systems. The aim of the study is to demonstrate an IoT smart home system that can benefit the user and at the same time, create a safe environment for the society. The system designed is an IoT based smart home system security equipped with a series of sensors which consist of temperature, light, flood and motion all controlled by an Arduino UNO which acts as a device manager then connected to a Raspberry PI microcomputer. The Raspberry PI acts as the command centre and connects the system to the Internet. The reason why the system uses both Raspberry-PI and Arduino is for simplicity, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The development successfully shows that it is possible to enhance the daily lives by efficiently reducing human contact and increasing security for a home which lead to reduced crime rates. Besides that, the utilization of an open source Flutter mobile application platform is proven to be as good as other paid platforms
