Abstract
In this paper we present the design of a low cost system which automatically controls the air conditioning equipments of a home. The sensors and controllers distributed use Zigbee, a protocol for wireless personal area networks, to communicate themselves. The aim of our design is to facilitate the development of complex smart homes applications, emphasizing the modularity of the system. This kind of applications is a great advantage for the end user, especially in the case of people with disabilities, who couldn’t interact with home’s electronic equipment.
