As our homes become increasingly interconnected with smart devices, managing this technological complexity has never been more challenging. In response, this paper outlines an innovative approach to home automation using the versatile Raspberry Pi platform to address the unique needs of modern households. The research adopts a design science approach, starting with a thorough analysis of the challenges associated with the growing number of smart devices. The need to manage and control these devices drives the development of effective solutions. Various designs are considered, leading to the selection of the Raspberry Pi due to its flexibility and capability to integrate different smart devices into the automation process. To provide a comprehensive solution that simplifies device management and benefits users, the development process includes both hardware and software components. Additionally, a rigorous testing program is implemented to ensure that the system meets key requirements such as security, privacy, energy efficiency, and user-friendliness. The system’s effectiveness is evaluated through real-world applications, which helps identify potential areas for improvement and iterative enhancement.
