The world of home automation is an exciting field that has exploded with new technologies
and today is known as an area where ‘‘The internet of things’’ (IoT) vision becomes reality.
The primary advantages that stem from this concept include how each device forms a small
part of the Internet, by which the advanced system is able to interact and communicate,
maximizes safety, security, comfort, convenience and energy-savings. This paper proposes
an implementation of Sensor Web node as a part of IoT using a Raspberry Pi – inexpensive,
fully customizable and programmable small computer with support for a large number of
peripherals and network communication. Using this technology, in an example of monitoring
and determining the confidence of fire in building, a full system, based on Sensor Web
elements, is created and developed starting from a scratch. The given example confirms the
advantage of Raspberry Pi – flexibility and extensive possibility of its usage.
