The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in our daily life. It has become applicable to many aspects of our lives such as homes, colleges, universities, and has been expanded to cover even cities. One of the IoT applications is a designing of smart home. Smart home can be defined as a collection of IoT devices connected via home gateway, and can be controlled remotely using smart phone. Such these smart homes contain devices which have the ability to communicate with each other, and with their material environment. The smart home gives the owners the ability to customize, monitor, and track the home environment which in turn increase security, and manage energy in efficient and effective manner. The aim of this paper is to model and simulate an IoT system for smart home that uses different IoT devices that are addressable to allow the transmission of valuable information. The designing of smart home was effectively implemented using new released version of Cisco Packet Tracer simulator 7.3 that includes different kind of sensor and actuator and having different types of smart device used for automation.
