An emerging technology that makes the world smarter is the Internet of Things (IoT). The growth of the IoT network has enriched the home and lifestyle with its associated technologies. Life today revolves around the notion of automation and the items that are automated are said to be of the next generation because they decrease human intervention. The technology of the home automation system is unique to other systems that allow the user to control the system through an internet connection from any location around the world. The proposed work reflects the many IoT applications that use Raspberry pi, sensors, IoT module to design the smart home automation and home security monitoring framework. The smart home automation system uses an android smartphone to easily control home appliances from any location around the world through an internet connection and will act as a smart monitoring security module for home security monitoring.

Traditional surveillance systems only record motion-based movements, but the proposed system serves the function of facial recognition to minimize the error caused by motion detection, and since it records automatically only during motion detection, the system saves a lot of storage space. Once the motion is detected by the PIR Sensor and the image is sent to the Android app via Raspberry pi, the Raspberry pi camera module is used to capture photos. This device can track when motion is detected and scans for the faces caught in the picture and operates with the aid of the door for face recognition. The key benefit is that the owner can seek surveillance from any part of the globe and can take action according to the circumstances.
