Adaptation of Seven-Layered IoT Architecture for Energy Efficiency Management in Smart House

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the different types of Internet of Things (IoT) architectures, with more emphasis on new seven-layered model architecture for future big data-driven smart homes applied when building a system for achieving energy efficiency. One of the next evolutionary stages in Internet-based computations is the Internet of Things (IoT), which is already making a beneficial difference in a wide range of application sectors, including smart cities, sustainable living, healthcare, production, etc. We can transform the conventional grid into a more effective and intelligent energy grid with the help of IoT. The standards for various IoT technologies, including sensing, communication, and computing technologies, as well as how they relate to smart energy grids, will be the main focus of this article. Additionally, this article gives a thorough outline of the prior research on its IoT applications for Smart Grid systems. We conclude by highlighting a brand-new layered architecture that is suggested for the management and processing of massive data in future Smart Homes. The suggested Representational State Transfer (REST)-based architecture for future smart homes’ efficient data interchange and processing activities has seven layers, including physical, fog computing, network, cloud computing, service, session, and application.
