rapid introduction of network enabled digital technology. This
technology offers new and exciting opportunities to increase
the connectivity of devices within the home for the purpose of
home automation. Moreover, with the rapid expansion of the
Internet, there is the added potential for the remote control
and monitoring of such network enabled devices. However,
the adoption of home automation systems has been slow. This
paper identifies the reasons for this slow adoption and
evaluates the potential of ZigBee for addressing these
problems through the design and implementation of a flexible
home automation architecture. A ZigBee based home
automation system and Wi-Fi network are integrated through
a common home gateway. The home gateway provides
network interoperability, a simple and flexible user interface,
and remote access to the system. A dedicated virtual home is
implemented to cater for the system’s security and safety
needs. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the
proposed system, four devices, a light switch, radiator valve,
safety sensor and ZigBee remote control have been developed
and evaluated with the home automation system.
