Abstract - Platforms for home automation make it simple
illiteracy, and complicated user interfaces are a few of them. As time went on, technology and computing power advanced quickly, which significantly decreased the cost and size of devices. Because of all of these considerations, electronic devices are now quite popular, and people are no longer unsure or perplexed about how to use computers, smartphones, or tablets. In addition, other interface, communication, and home automation standards, including X10 [2], ZigBee [3], LonTalk [4], and CEBus [5], were developed throughout time. All of these elements helped early home automation systems address their problems and worries, which increased the appeal and acceptance of automated homes. The study done by A.J. Brush et al. [6] addresses the primary challenges faced by contemporary home automation systems, including their high total cost, lack of flexibility caused by the integration of many devices, lack of trustworthy home devices, confusing user interfaces, and dependency on knowledgeable consultants. Poor manageability and a lack of convincing security are the results of all these factors.
for users to automate many different physical components of their houses. Customers are starting to grasp the potential of smart home appliances to enhance the standard of domestic life, which is causing them to become more popular. The core of IoT is the ability to remotely manage and observe physical objects (things) over the Internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) idea has recently been used to automate, improve, and secure the home environment. The major significant obstacles to establishing a smart home application, however, have been highlighted as regulating privacy and security in smart home environments. In this paper, reviews some recent articles about the most prevalent cyber security problems and cyber-attacks that take advantage of the weak points of smart home environments. In addition, significant findings on security, threats, and vulnerabilities related to smart homes will be covered in this paper. This study concludes by making some suggestions and recommendations for practical security measures that could be used to reduce cyber-attacks on internet-based smart homes.
Internet of things (IoT) refers to various electronic devices and objects that are able to connect, and transfer data through the seamlessly Internet [7]. In order to satisfy user needs and add value and convenience to our everyday activities, the adoption of IoT devices in the home environment has significantly expanded over the past few years. [8][9]. IoT technologies are utilized to make homes smarter in order to increase security, effectiveness, and comfort. Today's smart homes have a wide range of devices, including several cameras, microphones, sensors, actuators, device controllers, and home databases that can be accessed remotely for the user's convenience. These devices and the home database contain a variety of personal data about the people who reside in a house, including health and financial information, videos, images, live feeds from the house, daily routines, favorite music, and even personal diaries. Various devices employed, bring distinct security vulnerabilities to the smart home. Hence, if or when these contemporary homes are penetrated, they pose a bigger threat to the privacy and physical wellness of the residents than ever before. Automation of the house [10] [11], its accessibility via the Internet [12] or mobile phones [13]

1.INTRODUCTION Since the late 1970s, the idea of home automation has been in existence. Yet, as technology and services have developed, so have people's expectations of what a home should be able to accomplish and how those services should be offered and accessed at home. This has also impacted how people see home automation systems. When comparing various home automation systems over time, we can see that each one has made an effort to give homeowners quick, easy, and secure access to their properties. The function of a home automation system has not changed, despite changes in user expectations, technological advancements, or the passage of time. The work of John J. Greichen [1] covered some of the initial difficulties that home automation systems encountered. High manufacturing costs, high development costs, high installation costs, extra service and support costs, a lack of home automation standards, consumer technology
