Smart home using local area network (LAN) based arduino mega 2560

Smart home is a residence or dwelling connecting communication networks with electrical equipment for menegndalikan and monitor remotely. Smart home in the market today have a fairly expensive and communication between devices using a certain standard so it is not easy if you want to do further development. This research aims to use technology based on IP (Internet Protocol) to allow users to monitor and manage the household appliances (lights). Devices to access the home environment can use mobile devices that connect to the Internet Wireless. Tests conducted on a prototype house that has 5 lamps, a door limit switch is equipped with sensors, ACS172 current sensors 5A to measure the total power usage and current measurements were at home. From the results of testing of applications built have been able to control home appliances such as lights, can monitor the condition of the door and can monitor power consumption at home.
