The master thesis studies how Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) along with Cloud-based computing can be used to improve the user experience of household appliances. Bringing RFID and cloud computing together provides a modern solution enabling the users ubiquitous real time control and management of a wide range of household appliances. This thesis describes the development of a scalable platform named "Cloud oriented Push Platform" (CoPP). The main purpose of CoPP is to connect and control various smart devices. These functions are enabled by storing and retrieving user information, and are supported by push notification services. Furthermore, CoPP may facilitate the development of a low-cost home automation system that is easy to deploy and maintain. Finally, this thesis displays a development and implementation process of a cloud based RFID solution for a content-aware smart fridge. Additionally, in order to determine the best solution for the implementation of the smart fridge, this thesis also evaluates available cloud computing services, RFID technologies, and different micro-controllers from several perspectives, keeping economic, legal, and technical restrictions in mind.
