Abstract :
A gateway controller connecting a home automation (HA) system with an automatic meter reading system was developed. The gateway controller is composed of lower and upper layer protocol translators, between which the intermediate protocol was defined. Easy exchanges of the lower protocol translator enable the gateway controller to adapt to any external network outside homes. The gateway controller improves the information-handling capability of the HA system
