Web based, low cost and modular home automation system

Abstract

Home automation systems allow the user to easily control lighting, security, ventilation, temperature etc. in the house and monitor their operation. This project aims to reduce costs, wasted time and energy consumption of home automation systems by developing a system which makes use of sufficient hardware, which everyone can easily modify and expand, due to plug & play capability and also which can be controlled not by an extra remote controller or other device, but by any device which can already access the internet. In this present study, which uses Arduino and Arduino Shields, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to control different home equipment using the Zigbee wireless protocol. Users will be able to list all these active devices and operate them via a web page broadcasted by an Arduino.
