In recent years, an increasing the number of technology solutions have been started to be designed for the older people according to the aging population. In smart homes, a group of smart networked devices and sensors can help make the older people more independent by letting family member relatives keep watching them from afar. Because there is big interest from care providers who prefer to keep the older people in their houses rather than caring them in assisted-living centers, in this study, a sample application of smart home technology is presented. In the presented application, number of sensors with Arduino microcontroller are used to build a simple smart home. Although the presented application is a simple example of how smart homes can be used, it has the potential of affecting all areas improving day to day life of the older people.
