A Status Monitoring System Design/Implementation for Home Appliances Controlled by Home Server

This Home networking is to control the home appliances using network technology such as Internet or cellular phone. To do that, the home should have appliances which are connected together using some kind of network technologies such as Ethernet, Bluetooth, Power Line. In this paper, we assume those appliances are controlled by Infrared Ray devices. The problem of this IR controller is that it is difficult to have confidence of control operation because of interferences. We propose the system which gives the user confidence of control operations.
