  In today's life, more and more people tend to opt for a smart house. In this
way, the idea of including technology has become popular worldwide. Despite
this concept's many benefits, managing security remains an essential problem
due to the shared activities. The Internet of Things system behind a smart
house is based on several sensors to measure temperature, humidity, air
quality, and movement. Because of being supervised every day through sensors
and controlling their house only with a simple click, many people can be afraid
of this new approach in terms of their privacy, and this fact can constrain
them from following their habits. The security aspects should be constantly
analyzed to keep the data's confidentiality and make people feel safe in their
own houses. In this context, the current paper puts light on an alternative
design of a platform in which the safety of homeowners is the primary purpose,
and they maintain complete control over the data generated by smart devices.
The current research highlights the role of security and interface design in
controlling a smart house. The study underscores the importance of providing an
interface that can be used easily by any person to manage data and live
activities in a modern residence in an era dominated by continuously developing
technology.
