Abstract :
This paper proposed the design and application of ZigBee wireless techniques for an intelligent house lighting control system. The user interface was designed using the graphical programming software NI Lab VIEW. A fuzzy rule base was constructed using the auxiliary Fuzzy Tool Box. In addition to serving as the core computation unit, the base was also used in the energy saving system making the entire intelligent system a human-focused design. The wired section used the USB-6008 DAQ device produced by NI, whereas the wireless section used the ZigBee wireless network. The control system developed using Lab VIEW can decide if the blinds need to be opened or closed according to the brightness of the indoors/outdoors. The test results showed that the proposed energy saving not only regulated the comfort level, but also that the energy consumption was reduced.
