Abstract

Advances in embedded computing technologies has led to the development of residential gateways, and home automation systems. Installation and maintenance costs associated with such systems, however, are still relatively high. In addition, these systems have largely concentrated on applications such as control of multi-media home entertainment systems, domestic appliance control and automatic scene selection for dinners and parties. This paper presents a Lifestyle system that serves a much wider application range, yet at low cost. The system targets home automation, security, and elderly/disabled care markets.
