Abstract

A smart home allows homeowners to control appliances, thermostats, lights, and other devices remotely using a smartphone or other networked devices. Smart home technology provides homeowners with ease and better accessibility. In this paper, the design of a smart door is proposed – that will increase privacy and convenience. The proposed smart door has a door window – that can be made opaque or transparent by the user - using a touchscreen-based wall display panel or using a smartphone. The door can be opened and closed utilizing a servo motor - using the display panel or the smartphone. The system has a Raspberry Pi microcontroller with a local webserver built inside it. A prototype of the proposed smart door is developed and tested successfully.
