Abstract

The ST2000 Home Automation System enables a person with disabilities to control appliances with a phone, computer, or infrared remote controller. The ST2000 operates under two modes; normal and auto scan mode. In normal mode operation, the user will be able to input an appliance controlling command into their computer with the ST2000 modules controlling the appliance. In auto scan mode, appliance configuration is accomplished by the user by commanding the computer to scan the infrared code of an appliance. Once the proper code is found, the control module stops scanning, uploads and saves the correct code
