Evaluation of Sensor Networks in Smart Home

Smart homes are no longer design concepts of the future. They are being built now, and they are having a direct impact on the lifestyles of people living in them. The aim of smart home systems is to create an environment that is aware of the activities taking place within it. Beside the healthy people, disabled people also need such systems to make their life easier. Because they encounter with a lot of difficulties in their everyday life especially when they are at home. Accordingly the home which is smart must contain an internal network, an intelligent control and a home automation. The internal network is the priory basis; it can be wire, cable and wireless. It enables communication of sensors and actuators with each other providing services to humans. We described you how we had applied and used the existing sensors. Then we designed total architecture which used ubiquitous sensor networks to generate context information and to provide services to users by controlling wireless networked devices (actuators) in smart home.
