IoT based smart fan controller and fire prevention in computer laboratory

Nowadays, automation system integrated with the internet of things (IoT) has been the key interest with the rapid growth of technology.Everyone wants to use automated devices for several reasons.These automated devices are able of transferring data from various devices to provide a solution [1].Home automation means controlling electronic and electrical devices along with other manually operated things such as doors, and windows without human interaction [2].Moreover, smart home (SH) technology does not simply turn devices on and off [3], it can monitor the internal environment and the activities that are being undertaken whilst the house is occupied.About the result, SH offers different technologies.It can monitor the activities of the occupant and devices operate in set predefined patterns independently, as the user requirements.To create an effective SH system, it is necessary to select the proper tools, devices, and technology to be developed and make them work coherently[4].*Author for correspondence Significantly, the concept of IoT makes the connection of several devices such as computers, mobile phones, internet equipment, electronic device, and other things all together to be able to use the device for communication and work cooperatively.The assumption that recognizes IoT is that it allows a person to be disconnected from a location, which ensures that an individual can access the devices without the need to be in a particular place to deal with a specific device [5].Different IoT based devices or appliances are used to reduce the wastage of time by allowing the user to operate their devices from any distance without any delay [6].SH and IoT can promote home safety, health, and monitoring [7].The advancement of automation technology makes human life easier, more comfortable, and less demanding in all sectors [8].The home automation system also includes a security system for safety and security [9].IoT devices constitute a large number of devices and sensors that can monitor and control different physical quantities [10].The key challenges in SH are intelligent decision-making, secure identification, and authentication of the IoT devices, continuous connectivity, data security, and privacy Case Study
