Abstract—Smart home development has many methods
that cause the rise of various smart home systems
which has its own uniqueness on every system. Nevertheless,
those systems could not accommodate their
communication and information sharing. It causes the
difficulties of collaboration on a system to another, and
it makes hard to implement an existing models on a new
system. One of solution to answer this problem is to
implement ontology. Ontology allows the preparation of
structured system that corresponds to a specific character
in accordance with the needs of the system. Ontology
implementations in Smart Home are expected to ease
in managing information and using information. In
this research, an ontology is built. The ontology would
be mapped from the smart-home object based generic
design. We developed a simple system by utilizing the
ontology that has been built. Based on the experiment has
been done, the ontology has had a consistent structure
and appropriate with the smart home system design
requirement. Based on tests that we have done, the
ontology is easy to be implemented into a system. Besides,
with a limited instance, the ontology has been successfully
delivered 81.027 % appropriate response with 0.0146
second average response time to the residents activity
in the smart home environment.
