Abstract This paper utilizes an IoT platform called IoTtalk to shape “intelligence” into a house to make it a smart home. The developed project is called HomeTalk that serves as a platform to accommodate various smart applications in a house. We describe the following HomeTalk applications. The PlantTalk application takes care of house plants. The FishTalk application provides fish comfortable life in the fish tank at home. The BreathTalk application detects the number of people in a room, which also purifies the air. The TheaterTalk application uses home and special appliances to create the effects for a 4D experience theater at home. The FrameTalk application allows a painting frame to interact with people in a house. The GardenTalk application provides smart gardening. By examining these projects, this paper explicitly identifies and generalizes the features of HomeTalk that provides flexibility to reuse these IoT devices by sharing them among various smart home applications simultaneously. Specifically, we show how these applications share the sensors and actuators in the house. In the future, we will integrate them through an award winning project called Orchid House. Keywords IoT .

1 Introduction Victor Marie Hugo said: “Architecture is the great book of humanity”. Indeed, the architecture design determines the personality of the house. For example, we may say “intelligent consideration is what makes a house a home”. This paper utilizes an Internet of Things (IoT) platform called IoTtalk [1] to shape “intelligence” into a house. IoTtalk is scalable and can be interoperated with other IoT platforms. The details are given in [7] and will be briefly elaborated in the Appendix. * Yun-Wei Lin [email protected] Sheng-Kai Tseng [email protected] Jyun-Kai Liao [email protected] Ta-Hsien Hsu [email protected] 1

In this paper, we propose a platform “HomeTalk” based on IoTtalk to accommodate various smart applications in a house. Six applications are elaborated to demonstrate how to provide smart home automation through the HomeTalk platform. These applications have constituted the majority of smarthome features for controlling lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances [19, 20]. PlantTalk, FishTalk, and GardenTalk provide lighting and climate controls. TheaterTalk and FrameTalk provide the entertainment for people. BreathTalk gives an example for appliances control, which controls the air purifier to refresh the air. These projects widely cover the categories of home automation applications. Many commercial
