Smart electrical panel installation

The aim of this research is to design a web based electrical installation control system using smartphone for apartment, that includes hardware and software design. The hardware consists of microcontroller of ATMega16, relay driver and power supply. The controller software for client and server is design based on NetBeans IDE and Eclipse Juno. The computer network system will be achieved and it is connected to Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection system. The controlled electrical appliances are water heater, lights, and air conditioning (AC). Each controlled appliances on a different time obtain the same response time of less than one second. The results show that the response time is not depend on the distance of controlling system, but depends on the speed of data transfer.
