Design and Implementation of Socket-Based-Network Connections Smart Home System

A smart home control system could link independent electric appliances together 'intelligently' and provide comprehensive, fast and smooth exchange of information. This system gives people real-time information control, which improves their life quality. In this study, an embedded smart home system based on socket network connections was designed using ARM9 development board and embedded Linux operating system. This system could control all the subsystems that are related with home life, such as light control and sound control. Based on C/S structure, the designed smart home system has rich hardware and software resources, low cost and low power consumption, as well as easy expansion, update and maintenance. This system has practical values.
