Smart Home, a specific instance of ubiquitous computing, provides every family with opportunities to enjoy the power of hi-tech home living. Reasoning part plays a very important role in the context-aware system, the main component in Smart Home. Discovering that relationships between user, activity and context data in home environment are semantic, therefore, we apply ontology to model these relationships and then reason them as the semantic information. In this paper, we present the implementation of Smart Home’s context-aware system based on ontology reasoning. We introduce the methods to convert context information from devices, agents, sensors into ontology, to categorize ontology as its priorities, to query ontology, and also to solve the problem related to large environment data.
