Abstract
Along with a proliferation of electronic gadgets and devices for the home and
office, the past few years has seen a steady increase in the degree of
automation of devices in the home or office. A number of opportunities have
been provided by commercial products as well as self developed systems that
incorporate a means of controlling and/or monitoring devices. However many
of the solutions provided are either expensive or limited in their application.
This project is concerned with the design of a flexible and low cost
automation system that provides a platform upon which various automation
systems can be built. It consists of hardware to interface devices to a home
server which a PC is running the Windows Operating System. A desktop
application which provides a Graphical User Interface to set up and configure
the connected devices is developed, as well as software for a mobile device
that can be used as a remote controller for the system.
