Abstract

Wireless sensor-based smart home systems are increasingly gaining prevalence, offering new opportunities for automation and an improved quality of life. However, the seamless integration of multi-layer wireless sensor networks remains a significant challenge. This article delves into a comprehensive approach to integrate wireless networks that employ distinct protocols, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRa, within the context of Home Assistant-based smart homes. The article explores architectural solutions and data transformation methods, and presents the outcomes of performance experiments, as well as the stability of multi-layered wireless sensor networks. These findings culminate in the identification of an optimal configuration. The formulation of this research problem sets the stage for novel perspectives in the development of efficient and adaptive smart homes.
