Abstract :
This paper concerns the study and the realization of a portable touchscreen interface designed for the control of domotic systems, in this particular case based on powerline communication. The project is fundamentally thought for disabled people with problems in manual dexterity and mobility, but its functionalities can be exploited also by able-body people. The powerline domotic system has been chosen for its characteristics of versatility, low cost and simplicity of installation, besides the opportunity to be used as an excellent tool in the academic educational field.
