The utilization and advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets have noticeably increased in recent times. Various sectors, including intelligent homes, healthcare, sports analysis, and different industries, use IoT devices. Traffic is a crucial aspect of IoT devices, and it differs from conventional device traffic in several ways. This investigation employed 41 Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A machine learning model was developed that can classify IoT devices into multiple categories based on 13 different network traffic features. The raw data that was gathered was preprocessed using techniques like standardization and scaling techniques of the dataset. Algorithms for feature selecting can be utilized to extract characteristics from textual data. Following stratification, the dataset contains 106,234 sets of features that were utilized to enhance the predictive model. This research employed various evaluation metrics to demonstrate the effectiveness of the logistic-boosted algorithms. In this research, collaborative machine learning methods were utilized as a starting point to develop an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that can identify abnormal network traffic. The principal aim of this investigation is to identify attacks and abnormalities within a Smart Home IoT setting. We have introduced a new technique for constructing Logit-Boosted algorithm, namely Logi-CatBoost Classifier. Once the logit-boosted algorithm was employed to classify the dataset, Logi-CBC performed the best, with an accuracy of 88.70%. We suggested Logi-CBC algorithm achieved the top precision among previously used Logit-Boosted algorithms in past studies on the same dataset.
