Most of the time, home automation devices provide peace of mind to their users by helping them in managing their house’s heat system, their garden watering or even controlling their home’s security. All the home automation devices connect to a network and they gather massive quantities of data that, most of the time, is underappreciated and only used to notify the users about real-time events. Smart locks provide easy access to buildings and, like other home automation devices, generates a lot of rich data that can be used, and studied, to provide interesting features to their users. This work proposes a smart lock cognitive notifications system that studies the smart lock activity generated data to provide notifications regarding the user’s behavior to the system administrator through a smartphone application. The developed system comprises a cloud computing component that is responsible for the communications between all the system’s modules, data storage and ultimately it runs the cognitive notification system. To generate the needed data for the notifications system a smart lock prototype was also developed. The users can control the smart lock by using a smartphone application that includes several useful features. The whole system works reliably and can be a good addition to the home automation market by enabling new possible features that will make the users lives more comfortable.
