Abstract
Ubiquitous computing technologies automatically identify and respond to the context of user actions in new, undisruptive, user-friendly ways.An active application area of the ubiquitous computing research is the "Smart Home" technology and HCI researchers are increasingly getting interested in developing ubiquitous yet smart home environments. Today, the ubiquitous smart home technology is at a phase just next to early adoption phase and still much far from the mass-market adoption stage.Pakistan is a boomer country when it comes to adoption of new technologies and the latest proof is spread of mobile and internet communication.In order to gain customers'' trust, researchers need to prove that the technology is ''really'' useful and that the smart homes are ''ubiquitously'' calm ''enough'' both in terms of use and maintenance.Same is the motive of this research. This research proposes a framework which will serve as a guide to how we, in Pakistan, may attune smart home automation technology to our environment.MZALAB framework proposes a method to connect heterogeneous smart devices into a wireless sensor network in an almost plug and play style using open source resources.Same is being researched at facilities worldwide but very few take on an Asian perspective and none so far has tried it in Pakistan.MZALab houses a heterogeneous network of sensors and actuators, Wi-Fi switches, GSM modem, IP cameras and interactive user interface screens.This smart space is managed through software from within the home as well as from outside via trusted smartphone application.As a proof of concept, a "Live-In-Lab" strategy is deployed for testing whether it will work for an average home in Pakistan''s backdrop.MZALAB is a ''live-in'' studio-apartment-scale research laboratory, first of its kind in Pakistan.This lab naturalistically imitates a typical Pakistani home environment, to research about how well or otherwise we can adapt ubiquitous smart computing and networking capabilities, into a Pakistani human abode.This setup has successfully lent an insight into how well or otherwise the smart home automation technology may work in Pakistan.
