The Smart Home Automation System is a mobile web based application that allows users to monitor and control home/office using their mobile device. This system is established for all the home/office users after gaining access form administrator. This system includes the remote control and monitoring of home appliances and security through a live video feed, providing security and energy management. Once all appliances of Home or office are automated and connected, it becomes important to consider issues of security, authentication and access control. Through this literature review, scope of project and user requirements can be retrieved whether how big the project is. The use of methodology helps to produce a better quality product, in terms of documentation standards, acceptability to the user, maintainability and consistency of software. Waterfall model has been chosen as a methodology for this project and will be implemented along the system development process to ensure the objectives of the project can be fulfilled. With the latest and powerful technology, the system is not only expected to be workable, but also highly efficient in terms of execution speed and response time. The Intelligent Home automation System will contribute effort to users.

Keywords: Smart Home Automation System, Mobile web based application, Waterfall model, Monitoring of home appliances, Security through live feed.
