This MQP introduces a physics-aware software approach to the safety of Internet Of Things (IoT) systems. The IoT systems have several potential threats due to a lack of industry standards. This project proposes a middleware that is simulated through a python-based simulated smart home air conditioner and controller. The middleware includes a resilient state-estimator and a safety verifier that will ensure the physical safety of cyber-physical systems if control-command or sensor-based threats arise. This middleware can be implemented in a smart home environment as an application on a commodity smart hub.
