Abstract: Internet of things in the current trend of engineering is one of the most widely researched field of technology. IoT has become a technological revolution that helps in making our lives better. The development of IoT triggered a huge demand for "Smart devices". A "Smart device" is laden with sensors that collects data of their surroundings, processes it and relays it for further analysis. For an IoT device, the data is sent to the internet using various means. This feature makes IoT special from other systems but also more prone to cyber-attacks. Proper means of security can minimize such risks. This study emphasizes on the need of smart homes, the risks and security concerns and ways to overcome them, list of various methods of home automation and discussion of smart homes using IoT. The main objective is to control the home appliances using a remote device utilizing the home WiFi-network.
