Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a smart home system in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) with Ethereum private Blockchain, Raspberry Pi, Blynk platform, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensors. By Raspberry Pi, it collects real-time room humidity and temperature information by DHT11. The data is then uploaded to the Blynk App, which is stored on the smart contract deployed with the Ethereum private Blockchain. When the real-time humidity or temperature value exceeds a predefined threshold value, warnings are given by turning on LEDs. The system functions as a proof-of-concept prototype, showing the feasibility of applying blockchain in smart homes with IoT functionalities.
