Development of residential lighting control systems using ZigBee wireless technology

In recent years, energy conservation has become a critical issue. Residential lighting consumes a surprisingly large share of the electricity. In this paper, a residential lighting control system using ZigBee wireless technology has been proposed. In the present scheme, the ZigBee localization technique is integrated into the lighting control system so as to reduce the power consumption. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach that could save the energy around 11.81%.
