Climate control and heating can programmatically control ventilation and air condition-ing (HVAC) technology to lower energy usage using occupancy and activity based control system algorithm reducing the monthly expenses and greenhouse gas emissions. Smart Meters part of the Advanced Meter-ing Infrastructure allow customers to monitor locally and remotely the current usage of energy. Utility ser-vice providers can query Smart meters for billing and/or to establish the amount of energy needed by houses etc., based on human behaviours analysing the energy consumption. The challenge associated with this is new privacy issues that attackers may exploit analysing the energy consumption pattern of a house. This provides an insight and learns the daily activities of the occupant to discover the right period to burgle the house.Smart and connected appliances will be more and more connected with sensors and actuators, thus mak-ing our fridges, ovens, laundry machines even smarter. The intelligent appliances will collaborate to conserve energy, and send an alert message to service providers the need for new supplies of food, detergents and other consumables. Home Security using surveillance video cameras and multiple sensors to track motion, tempera-ture, air quality, vibration, sound, inside a building and improve the quality of life of senior citizens and their caretakers. Human-friendly hand gesture recognition interface can help the users with the ability to control various home appliances naturally at various places.Government health care cost can reduce significantly, with age-friendly homes, based on IoT could unlock an un-tapped economic potential. A range of IoT solution based services helping people live independently, such as motion sensors that trigger a response from a call centre, integrate a range of different de-vices, data sources and services to in-crease the efficiency of healthcare and promote independ-ence. Fall is one of the major health threats and obstacles to independent living for elders, timely and reliable fall detection is crucial for mitigating the effects of falls. Design and implement a real-time, non-intrusive, and low-cost indoor fall detector based on accelerometer-based fall detection system integrated can be integrated into an intelligent home.IoT application can support a wide range of tasks such as cognitive enhancement (helping people to re-member), social reinforcement ­ (helping maintain so-cial contact), daily activities with the support of exo-skeleton robots for differently abled and elderly people ­ (enhancing feelings of safety).In a networked smart home which is equipped with whole range of smart gadgets gateway hardware is re-quired to connect to external Internet and the appliance in the home. Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi), is an independent group dedicated to define, achieve plat-form and vendor independence, for a smooth integration between various technologies, and protocol, to connect those smart appliances. Gateway should support voice, video, other media and data stream on the Internet to the connected de-vices inside a house, services are deployed and are used to in-terconnect all the devices inside the home. In terms of entertainment tech-nology AI will play major role in personal-izing the user's media experience based on his changing context like user preference and situation to device and net-work capability as input for both content and presentation.
