Due to rapid and advanced technology, home automation has gained popularity, making daily life easier. Digitalization and automation have encompassed a wide range of activities and industries. IoT will make home automation more affordable and appealing. With IoT-enabled remote appliance control, smart home automation should improve living standards. A home gateway configures smart, multimedia, and home networks for IoT devices. Safety of life and property is essential to human fulfilment. Automating homes and using related apps have increased the ease, comfort, security, and safety of living in one. Home automation systems have motion detection capabilities and surveillance features to enhance home security. The logic of avoiding excessive or fraudulent notifications remains difficult. Using intelligent response and monitoring mechanisms improves the efficiency of smart home automation. This study introduces a smart home automation system designed to control household devices, monitor environmental conditions, and identify unauthorized entry inside the smart home network and its immediate surrounding area. A smart home network design and configuration that enables secure IoT services with an Access Control List (ACL) for home networks. The research aims to design a robust authentication scheme for guaranteed secure communication in a smart home environment. Implementing a Next Generation Access Control (NGAC) technique serves with Telnet, SSH, IPSec and VPN to detect unauthorized access and mitigate security issues. The efficacy of the suggested design and configuration is validated using a simulation, demonstrating a notable performance in the context of enhanced security measures.
