Abstract
The Internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Many homeowners have difficulties monitoring their home electrical activity, which may cause electrical short-circuit, appliance overheating, or over-usage. These circumstances may lead to house fires, which can cause injuries or death to homeowners and dwellers and considerable damage to properties. The application of this research gives the idea to implement new studies towards the current developing form of technologies like the RFID and the Internet of Things. The compulsion of this paper is due to the continuous advancement of technology and to administer new tools effectively. The researchers chose only a feature of home automation: smart plug-in electrical outlets in residential areas controlled by a wireless RFID access and control switch. It uses an intelligent relay server that gathers data from a cloud database and gives the user easy access to the electrical appliances involved in the automation. Also, it helps monitor the status of every appliance involved in the study.
