In today's society, it is trendy to have many IoTs in the home, everything from smart TV, fridge, cameras, tablets, phones, fire alarms, and locks on the door. To control these IOTs, people often use an application on the phone that is connected to the WIFI.

IOTs in smart homes are often devices that are helping a person with an easy task, such as cleaning, temperature changes, and adjusting lights. There are only so many IOTs that can secure a smart home. When discussing securing smart homes with IOTs, the devices that make it secure are mostly locks or surveillance cameras. These devices stop intruders from breaking into the home and alarm the homeowner about what is happening. However, is the IOTs in smart homes secured? Do homeowners know what information is stored on the devices and what can be accessed from the outside world? In this study, there will be a systematic literature review that collects articles about smart home security IOTs integrated with the cloud. These articles will be structured in different themes with thematic coding. A total of forty-six articles had been selected and read through. The findings of this study underscore the necessity for further research on this particular topic. The results also show that the devices made for home security have yet to be tested in the real world. The result shows that smart home security is in an early stage of development.
