            Abstract : 
This paper presents a home monitoring system which enables a user to limit both methane (CH4) consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by a proper control of the heating system. A case study on a real home automation scenario, where a wireless sensor network based on ZigBee is used for home heating control, is presented.
