Abstract

In light of its many benefits, home automation systems are one of the subjects that are becoming ever more prevalent. The term "home automation" describes the remote monitoring and management of household equipment. The Internet and its usages are constantly expanding, which means there is a lot of room for remote access, management, and surveillance of these network-enabled systems. Nowadays, scientists and researchers are developing cutting-edge prototypes of home automation system which includes smart lighting system, smart kitchen, smart fire protection devices, smart lawn mower, smart health monitor system and so on. Each automated system's primary objective is its ability to reduce human labor, effort, time, and mistakes brought on by carelessness. The objective of this study is to provide in-depth evaluation of the newly developed home automation system. Moreover, state-of-the-art home automation topologies such as ZigBee, Z-wave, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also discussed here. The authors are optimistic that this study would have a major impact on the present advances in home automation technology.
