A couple of market-leaders like eq-3, Amazon and Control4 have already established their own ecosystems with their own networking protocolls. A couple of market-leaders like eq-3, Amazon and Control4 have already established their own ecosystems with their own networking protocolls.
Since the market is still growing, more companies join the smart home market with their own solutions and the vast variety of communication protocolls is ever growing. Since the market is still growing, more companies join the smart home market with their own solutions and the vast variety of communication protocolls is ever growing.
Existing community projects like FHEM, ioBroker and openHAB try to address this by providing a unified interface for a number of protocolls. Existing community projects like FHEM, ioBroker and openHAB try to address this by providing a unified interface for a number of protocolls.
Because these projects either lack in usability (FHEM), require the knowledge of a specifiy programming language (openHAB) or lack customizability (ioBroker) we will describe in this paper a three-layered implementation of a highly customizable and easy to program solution.

The smart home environment is comprised of three key layers: The smart home environment is comprised of three key layers:
the logic-layer with node-red and node-red-dashboard implements the logic for the presencedetection and the graphical user interface. the logic-layer uses node-red and node-red-dashboard to implement the smarthome logic and graphical user interface.
node-red is used because it provides an easy-to-use flow-based programming interface. the networking-layer uses the protocol mqtt to use the raspberry pis wifi capabilities to communicate to wifi-sensors and to connect the third - interface - layer with the logic layer.
data is represented by nodes the interface-layer serves as the connection to proprietary sensors from companies like phillips and homematic.
mqtt is the protocol used in the networking-layer to relay data coming in from sensors to the logic-layer. It is comprised by software (homegear and piVCCU) which speak the vendor-specific protocols used by commercial sensors and actuators.
the interface-layer is used to connect The communication with the sensors is done via the 433MHz or 866MHz radio band
