Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the problems regarding the security of home automation systems and highlight all the shortcomings in implementing such systems. Home automation systems are the future of context-aware and energy-efficient residential systems. The technology has been around for a while now, but is still not adapted by the masses because of the high costs and low reliability. The aim of this research was to find out the reasons why such systems are not available in the common markets right now.
