Recently, the Internet of Thing (IoT) technology is expanding explosively in the number of devices and applications in many application areas. In IoT systems, sensors and actuators are connected to the Internet and cooperate to do some applications by exchanging information. In this paper an IoT smart home system is developed to monitor and control home devices easily. Our system consists of sensor devices, IoT gateways, and an IoT server. Sensor devices developed using Rfduino sense the physical world and transmit their data using BLE to the IoT server thru the IoT gateway. We implemented the IoT gateway using Raspberry Pi and the IoT server using ARTIK cloud. We installed our system and made a test in our lab, which showed that our system can be installed and managed easily and extended its functionality in an easy way. By taking advantage of the rule mechanism and action messages of ARTIK cloud, we implemented the control of device parameters easily by sending action messages to the ARTIK cloud.

Recent advances in network infrastructures, sensors, and IoT devices have accelerated the research and development of monitoring and interaction technologies designed for people, buildings, and environments. In particular, there has been an increasing demand for monitoring technologies for vulnerable people such as the infirm, disabled, and children. In this paper, we propose an efficient hospital room management system based on IoT care robots. The status of hospital rooms can be monitored and controlled more efficiently and intuitively by utilizing IoT devices and a cloud platform. We demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed system through the implementation of a prototype based on ARTIK IoT devices and the ARTIK Cloud platform. We found that the proposed system requires approximately 600 ms and 130 ms to collect sensor data and respond to alerts, respectively, which demonstrates it can operate in real-time.
