Remote control system of smart appliances based on wireless sensor network

Diversification of remote control mode is the inevitable trend of development of smart appliances. In this paper we designed and developed a remote control system of smart appliances based on ZigBee wireless sensor network, realizing the diversification of remote control mode of smart appliances. The ZigBee technology is used to form a control network of household appliances within the house, two remote control networks of Internet and SMS are set up with the network interface module and GSM module. Status of the home appliances can be queried and controlled through either the remote PC interface or mobile phones. The experimental results show that: the system is reliable and can realize the remote control and inquiry of household appliances. The system has the advantages of convenient in control, flexible in adding new devices.
