In our rapidly advancing world, the integration of a smart home automation system can greatly enhance our quality of life by providing increased comfort, convenience, and safety. These smart homes leverage cutting-edge communication and information technologies, employing IoT sensors and devices to continuously monitor our well-being. Our ongoing research is dedicated to developing a responsive system prototype that can promptly detect critical deviations from regular daily activities within a residence. Examples of such situations include scenarios where a refrigerator is inadvertently left open, a stove (oven or element) has been operating for an extended period, a garage entrance door is left ajar, or cooking in the kitchen is left unattended. This paper introduces the system prototype, detailing its implementation to gather and analyze data from various sensors, with on case study. Our aim is to monitor sensor data, utilizing this information in decision-making scenarios to bolster support for individuals within their residences.
