Abstract:
The increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart homes, the need for robust network performance analysis and security measures has become more critical. Smart thermostats, a key component of modern IoT- based home automation, rely on continuous data exchange with other devices and services to maintain optimal temperature and comfort levels. However, this constant connectivity also exposes the devices to various cybersecurity risks, including network vulnerabilities and potential attacks such as Man- in- the-Middle (MITM) and Denial of Service (DoS). The study explores the network performance and security vulnerabilities of smart thermostats by analyzingrealtime IoT device data collected from an ESP32-based thermostat. The dataset includes network activity parameters such as source IP, destination IP, data transfer rates, and thermostat operational data like temperature, humidity, and control signals. The paper begins with a background on the increasing
