Abstract

Home Automation has gathered attention in delivering convenience and improving the quality of life for the past decades. People have easier access and feedback with their home appliances within their home networks. As these kinds of systems are emerging, it gave birth to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) which is also becoming a fast-disruptive technology for business opportunities, research, and hobbies wherein Machine-to-Machine (M2M) wireless communications are achievable. The most common wireless standards implemented in Home Automation Systems are IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), ZigBee, Z-Wave, and LoRa. This research aims to develop a home automation system that utilizes the ZigBee standard as the mode of communicating wirelessly to an Arduino microcontroller.
