With the popularity of smart home services, smart home devices are also increasing significantly. At the same time, security problems of smart home services are becoming more and more important. With the characteristics of non-tampering and multi-party consensus mechanism, Blockchain technology provides powerful capabilities in security protection. In this paper, we introduce the widely used permission Blockchain Fabric for smart home services. As the high requirements of performance, we firstly study the methods of performance optimization for Fabric. Then, a Fabric-based smart home security control system is designed. Based on this system, the smart home system is able to provide access control and security control for smart home devices. The experimental results show that the system works best when the number of concurrent registrations of smart home device is under 6000.
