Furthermore, Ubiquitous Computing and dirt cheap sensors have created a new paradigm in digital technology where human beings could control their environment in a different approach. In a number of paradigms of digital technology, multiple proprietary solutions in industry results in a huge cost for the end users to use the technology and thus a very sluggish penetration of the tech- nology into the society. Moreover, such unorganized and vendor ori- ented standards create additional burdens on a person concerned in design and implementation. This thesis presents existing and emerging technologies in relation to smart home environment having an aim to manifest available open standards and platforms. Smart Home Envi- ronment Infrastructures have been presented and discussed.
