Modelling a secured, energy efficient and cost-effective internet of things infrastructure architecture for smart home or small office (MSEECIIASHSO)

Abstract

IoT applications are mostly developed in Office, Industries, Hospital, Public Stations and Houses. Future applications would benefit from service-oriented communications. This research aims to create a model which is very important for developing future programs, including hazardous area for workers safety, smart user interface for developed cities for automation, e-health, smart transportation systems and specially in remote areas. Furthermore, the challenge for researchers and service providers in the IoT climate is to cover the idea without compromising user comfort with less energy usage IoT infrastructure. Aftermath, user comfort can be enhanced with reducing energy consumption. This thesis will offer an infrastructure architecture for smart home or small office of electrical components with a very friendly user interface where the existing electrical devices can be controlled remotely by weblink or IP address. The researcher will follow the method of analyzing the performance of intelligent IoT services. In addition to the methodology, this thesis is performing a critical examination for the Centre of Cyber Security Excellence at Kulliyah of ICT, International Islamic University Malaysia and this system has been providing uninterrupted support since 2019 without any hassle. As a result, the research created new opportunities and choices to provide users secured, hassle-free living facilities with automation and energy efficient, cost effective IoT infrastructure. To make this architecture sustainable, I used Raspberry Pi as server and NodeMCU as controller for end devices. This technology can be used by the people to decrease electrical energy loss by monitoring household equipment on a regular basis or appropriately programming for automaton, and by enabling trigger, timer for the devices on and off by using mobile apps or weblink.
