Abstract :
Today, even small residential buildings have a number of complex electrical devices that advocate the usage of automated control systems. But currently available systems are either hard to handle or expensive. This paper describes an automated house control system that has been in use for the last 4 years. It has been built using only freely available, inexpensive hardware and the open source operating system REFLEX.
