Only after information system implementation it is possible to ensure effective and save computerisation and automation for smart house, which gives possibilities for remote devices or subsystems manage. Information system must ensure effective information collection, processing, monitoring or presentation measures. Changeable functional and information requirements are intrinsic for smart house information systems. Such a system must be flexible for new objects or systems integration. The flexible structure provides the rapid adaptation of the system to the control object directly. There was analysed smart house CIS development methods, smart house peculiarities and described systems integration problems in this job. Also presented objective model for smart house CIS and it main principals. According to analysed problems it was made model verification during experimental phase. The result - offered flexible smart house CIS model that allows save new objects implementation and olds modification.

The appliance area of the computer technologies involves more and more living spheres because of its rapid development. Nowadays smart devices are integrated in the domestic electric appliances. For decades, technologists have been promising the ‘intelligent house’. The vision is usually portrayed as a house filled with technology which will do the dweller’s bidding and take all domestic drudgery out of their lives. Availability of faster, smaller and ever cheaper computing equipment and a variety of wired and wireless network technologies are enabling technologies that bring this vision closer to reality. These technology trends lead to the concept that computing and other ‘smart’ devices will become pervasive, fully networked and ‘disappear’ into the infrastructure of the home. There is no unified standard methodology to describe interface of interconnection between other devices in creation of new home devices. In such cases only one device is evaluated independent of entire system, therefore compatibility problem occurs. Seeking to avoid these mentioned problems, it is necessary to have simulation of home devices methodology. This methodology enables to simplify developers work and to evaluate interconnection between devices.

The house in which the family live, should be built for the specific lifestyle residents and respond intelligently to their current and changing needs. Nowadays there are some new buildings that have such requirements partially resolved. The proposed project is based on the situation of families living in older buildings that no longer complies with their needs. Therefore they are considering home reconstruction to transform house into so-called "smart" house or apartment. The project deals with the functioning of modern living that reflects the lifestyle and how to be a house or flat is used. It takes into account the location of individual system components (control and regulation elements, controls, cameras, sensors, audio-visual equipment, etc.), and their interconnection to the selected specific component types that are in keeping with the style and interior design. The work is based on the description of the ideal smart home functionality to create smart design solutions of selected house based on currently available technologies. Detailed design is developed using available technology to control home appliances.

The result is a demonstrator of IoT data collection designed for usage in an Smart House.

Šiame darbe apžvelgiamos būsto kompiuterinės sistemos saugumo problemos ir siūlomi būdai joms išspręsti. Išanalizavus egzistuojančias sistemas buvo pastebėta, kad tarp sistemos įtaisų siunčiami duomenys nėra šifruojami ar kitu būdu apsaugomi. Tai leidžia šiuos duomenis perimti ir suklastoti, taip paveikiant sistemos darbą. Kita problema – naudojamas belaidis ryšys. Jei sistema neatpažįsta belaidžio ryšio atakos, ji yra pažeidžiama. Šiame darbe duomenų apsaugai siūlomas KeeLoq šifravimas. Tyrimas rodo, kad šis šifravimo būdas yra efektyvus būsto kompiuterinėse sistemose. Taip pat šiame darbe sukurta belaidžio ryšio posistemė, kuri įgalina būsto kompiuterinę sistemą atpažinti belaidžio ryšio atakas ir į jas tinkamai reaguoti. Atliktas tyrimas rodo, kad būsto kompiuterinė sistema šios posistemės pagalba teisingai aptinka visas belaidžio ryšio atakas. / This paper presents gaps in the house computer systems security and suggests a way to solve it. It was noticed, that communication among house computer system’s devices isn’t encrypted or secured in any other way. This situation enable attacker to get data, sent among devices, and use it to affect the system. Another problem is attacks against wireless communication. If system’s devices can’t detect such attacks, it is vulnerable. This paper suggests using KeeLoq encryption to make communication safer. Research shows, that this type of encryption is effective in house computer system. There was created subsystem of wireless communication in this work. It enables house computer system to identify wireless attacks and respond to it properly. Research shows, that this subsystem correctly detects attacks and always help system to take right actions.

The quality attribute concerning usability is generally of significant importance to systems. The area of Human Computer Interaction, HCI, especially handles several usability aspects. This degree project emphasizes HCI in a context of, so called, Smart House. The report is divided into three main sections: theory, application, and measurement results. In the theory section we will present about the context of HCI and the content of HCI, such as HCI model and goals of HCI design. In the application section we discuss the use of mobile phones as a device to remotely control devices of smart houses, and present a system developed to support such services. In order to make the system more attractive, we decided to design it for two categories of operations, menu operation and direct-touch operation mode. Finally, we have used questionnaires for reasons of measuring user satisfaction. Through investigation and analysis of the result of this, we come to the conclusion that system usability is good.

The goal of this thesis is a building automation in which the circuits are controlled by a single-board computer Arduino and the entire system is operated by a mobile phone. The theoretical part describes a single-board computer Arduino, its parts, functions, capabilities and communication with it. In the practical part, the controlled circuits are described, implemented and a functional model of a house is created. The model of the house practically demonstrates behavior of the controlled circuits simultaneously with a possibility to manage and influence the system using a mobile phone.
