  In this paper, we present a NDN based smart home lighting solution where
lights are automatically controlled in near real time based on occupancy and
daylight. We implemented a reliable solution using NDN architecture exploiting
the primitive NDN features in push based data dissemination, multicast
forwarding through name prefixes and Interest filtering in application layer.
Performance was evaluated benchmarking with respect to a cloud based approach
in terms of message delivery latency. Scalability of the solution was also
analyzed presenting an analysis on FIB scalability based on Interest filtering.
Finally, from this study, we recommend and highlight a few requirements that
could improve NDN for sustainable IoT applications.
