This paper presents one approach to improve smart home user experience, by
providing location-based services. Within the cloud of the existing smart
home solution, the geolocation micro-service is first implemented. This
micro-service communicates with third party online geolocation service to
obtain latitude and longitude values from physical address and vice versa.
The geolocation micro-service is used by different services to provide
location-based experience. For example, weather micro-service uses the
geolocation information, to provide weather content, while the traffic
service monitors traffic conditions in the vicinity of the household. This
information can be used to setup different automation rules in the system.
