Home Automation System using ZigBee and PandaBoard as a Gateway (HAS-ZP)

Abstract

Abstract — Today’s homes have as many wires as the number of devices to control. Home automation using ZigBee and PandaBoard as a gateway does away with the need for separate wires and even remotes. The wireless home area network doesn’t require line-ofsight communication. The HAS-ZP is a wireless home automation system that can be implemented in existing home environments, without any changes in the infrastructure. Home Automation lets the user control the home appliances from his or her smart-phone or laptop. The assigned actions can happen depending on time or other sensor readings such as light, temperature or sound from any connected device in the Home Automation network. With the help of PandaBoard, currently working as gateway, we can control, command, operate and observe the end devices. Here we are considering end devices like fan, bulb, TV, Music System, doors, windows etc. with the single gateway, the system can control entire home irrespective of number of rooms or boundaries where each room will be connected with single receiver
