The Development of Prototype Context-Aware Smart Home to facilitate the learning of Smart Green Building: Literature Review

摘要

The concept of a smart home has developed since the 90s. Where the initial goal of the emergence of the concept of a smart home is to create home automation that can increase the comfort of its residents. Smart home technology enables communication between household appliances and users and improves automation, monitoring and remote-control capabilities. Various studies have been conducted to develop smart home technology. The main purpose of developing a smart home is to meet human needs, namely, to increase user comfort and make everyday life easier. In its development, there are several aspects in a smart home that must be met, namely Security and Safety, Energy Management, and Comfort Control. In various countries have started implementing smart home simulators as learning media, various studies also show that the use of simulators can help in understanding a technology. But until now, in Indonesia, there is still no simulator/trainer who can facilitate learning about smart home technology. Therefore it is necessary to develop intelligent home prototypes that are integrated into one product to facilitate this learning. In this case, context-aware technology is a solution that can be used in the development of a smart green building. Technology context-aware is a term for a smart home that has the intelligence to automate home devices based on the context of the occupants. This paper aims to be a reference in developing smart home prototypes that fulfil the smart home aspects so that they can facilitate learning about smart home technology. This article was prepared by applying the method of critical analysis of literature published from 1992 to 2019 in journals and proceedings in Indonesian and English. As a follow up to future research, this article proposes the development of context-aware smart home simulator to facilitate learning about smart home technology.
