The invention relates to the technical field of smart home and discloses a smart home Internet of Things communication method based on an AliCloud IoT Hub platform. On one hand, subscription message transmission between a network server and a home gateway is realized on an AliCloud IoT Hub platform by adopting an MQTT communication protocol. The timeliness of information transmission can be guaranteed by using the communication characteristics of the MQTT communication protocol, so that after a user terminal sends out the control request, target household equipment can execute and respond mostquickly, the receipt receiving time is shortened to the greatest extent, the use state of the household equipment can be updated quickly, and the timeliness requirement of a user is met; and on the other hand, the home gateway only needs to subscribe to one publish theme and one subscribe theme to complete the operation of a plurality of devices in the room, so that the purposes of economy, practicability and easiness in popularization can be achieved. In addition, the invention has the characteristics of gateway activation automation, convenience in equipment addition, easiness in multi-house management and the like, can provide a simple operation interface, and is convenient to operate.
