Design and Implementation of Smart Home Monitoring System with the Internet of Things Technology
The research of the internet of things (IoT) applications in smart home monitoring was mainly discussed, and the design of a smart home monitoring system was accomplished. In the system that was constructed based on the ZigBee scheme, the technologies of WiFi, Node.js and MongoDB were incorporated. Hence, the system supported both the local and the remote accesses. As for the aspect of system applications, many functions were implemented, such as the electrical control, environmental monitor, indoor monitor, abnormity warning, query historical information, and user settings. Compared with the traditional smart home systems, it centers at the monitoring of communities, where the smart homes are the main branches. In the system, the different scenarios of multi users and multi applications with high flexibility and strong extensibility were considered. With the aid of the emerging technologies, the local access system has energy saving features while the remote access system has good real time response performance.
