In this paper, we propose a secure architecture for smart homes. We added a sicher firewall system between a central hub (LAN) that are linked to the cyberspace and other end that is connected to home appliances. In this way security threats become dejected and attackers are unable to reach home automation systems. A sicher firewall also protects system from internet threats. It generates a warning and protect system from external threats. Applying a sicher firewall, it enforces security system and increase security and concealment to smart homes. This experience will enhance user trustworthiness for using smart homes technology.
