Manish Kumar, Ramandeep singh

Abstract: The demand of wireless system in home is increasing day by day due to its cost and easy placement and also it is easy to connect with our computer or phone [1]. This project demonstrates about the control of home appliances wirelessly using computer and Zigbee wireless communication protocol. We can control the home appliance like refrigerator, fan, and air conditioner etc. by sending command through the computer. Input will be given from the computer through serial communication. By this technique we can also control all electrical appliances within a room in a building. We extent the concept of controlling the power supply for the devices at remote location at home or industry.
