Smart home services have been quite popular for some time and many kinds of technologies can be applied to enhance smart home services. Conventionally, active radio frequency identification (RFID) has been widely used in smart home services to identify users, and there was less consideration for intelligence in these services. However, it is inconvenient and costly for users, as carrying active tags requires battery recharging, is costly and can be bulky. Distinct user preferences and complex situations call for more system intelligence. A new approach is to utilise passive RFID like (EPC Gen 2 and MIFARE) as these have several advantages. This includes no battery requirement, low cost, light-weight sizes, moderate storage, and a moderate reading range. In this paper, we design an intelligent smart home system that integrates passive RFID and a smart engine along with other technologies to enhance the cost-effectiveness, convenience, safety, comfort and intelligence of smart home services. Prototyping and field-testing demonstrate that the proper application of passive RFIDs (like Gen 2 and MIFARE) and intelligent controls into existing smart home services improves the services in several aspects.
