Using IoT for Automated Heating of a Smart Home by Means of OpenHAB Software Platform

Abstract

A significant prerequisite to achieving a smart city is the availability of smart buildings and smart homes. In this regard, this article deals with the problem of smart homes, where an approach to managing automated heating is discussed. The particular problem is focused on combining the advantages of IoT for effective management of smart home heating by using of OpenHAB software platform. The results obtained refer to a single apartment and the current data cover one year. An identical 3D model with the same interior spaces as a twin of the real home was created to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The comparison between the obtained real data and the simulation data of an identical 3D model shows a significant reduction in energy consumption.
