Smartness of devices is constantly increasing. Smart products are widespread; not just limited to appliances and electronics. With the availability of such products, there becomes an increased need for a scalable smart environment. This paper discusses the idea of self-sensing spaces - spaces that can sense themselves in terms of locating and controlling its contents. This paper also presented smart plugs for self-sensing spaces. The use of RFID technology in smart spaces makes installing new devices a simple, automatic and scalable task. There is no need to reprogram a smart space anymore every time one needs to install a new device. A smart space will be able to automatically integrate the new device upon installation.
