Home Automation Using IBM Watson Platform With Intrusion Detection

IOT is a giant network of connected devices which aims at establishing a relationship between people-people, people –things and things-things. Research and advisory firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be about 26 billion connected devices. IOT is most recent technology based on wireless system and this technology will drive the future. This paper focuses on monitoring our homes by controlling its devices remotely over the internet using a Raspberry pi with IBM Watson platform. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of home automation by connecting raspberry pi to the IOT platform which gives us the status of the two devices one being a Lamp and the other a PIR motion sensor. This project helps to promote the security, energy efficiency and the comfort of the home owners.
