contents The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative force in residential automation, enabling unprecedented levels of energy efficiency, safety monitoring, and remote device control from anywhere in the world. Contemporary systems now enable a single smartphone to manage thermal regulation, gas leak detection, occupant health monitoring, electricity billing oversight, and voice-commanded appliance management — all simultaneously. This paper presents a systematic review of eight recent peer-reviewed studies on IoT-based smart home automation systems, examining architectures ranging from cloud-dependent microcontroller platforms to localized edge computing frameworks. Each system is analyzed across key dimensions: hardware architecture, communication protocols, artificial intelligence integration, security frameworks, deployment model, and cost-effectiveness. A structured comparative analysis reveals three critical and recurring gaps in the literature — the near-absence of genuine AI-driven automation, pervasive reliance on basic cloud security that leaves the majority of systems vulnerable to cyberattacks, and persistent protocol fragmentation that prevents seamless cross-device interoperability. Based on these findings, a unified future research direction is proposed that integrates edge computing, predictive deep learning, universal communication standards, and blockchain-based decentralized security, collectively enabling the transition from remotely controlled devices to truly autonomous and secure intelligent living environments.
