The solution's stability is shown via a safety study, which also demonstrates how it can protect user picture information while it is being sent and stored. When considering the smart grid application concept, the writers propose a blockchain design based on the usage of sidechains in attempt to create the network accessible and flexible, which they believe would be beneficial. The writers chose three blockchains to guarantee privacy, safety, and confidence in the entire system, and they did so with the help of the community. Moreover, in order to make the suggested solution universally applicable, they implemented the open smart grid protocol as well as smart agreements. The shown findings demonstrate how confidentiality is ensured via the suggested architecture, demonstrating that it is practical for implementation in real-world systems and applications [34]. A blockchain-based trust monitoring system with a lightweight consensus mechanism is proposed by the researchers [35]. An example of a real item connected to IoT is a car. Other examples of actual items connected to the IoT involve houses, manufacturing machines, and medical detection gadgets [36]. This very connection would make use of electrical components such as detectors and controllers in order to accomplish its goals: to share and latest data, and therefore to negotiate with the entire system in order to accomplish the best possible functionality.

Communication devices in smart home systems allow for establishing a connection between the system components. In other words, information transfer between the devices is accomplished by the communication hardware. The most well-known communication devices used in smart homes are smart phones (Nguyen et al. 2019), video doorbells (Minoli 2020), navigation devices (Samuel et al. 2021), wearable devices (Park 2020), and smart TVs (Jang and Yi 2019). On the other hand, smart homes have different communication protocols to allow data share between devices. The communication protocols are primarily classified as wired and wireless protocols (Hussain et al. 2021). Some wired protocols are Open Smart Grid protocol (OSGP), Meter Bus (M-Bus), Konnex (KNX), etc. The other protocols are based on wireless such as Zigbee, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol (MQTT), Enocean and Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) (Mendes et al. 2015).
