Recently, there has been an ever-increasing demand for home control system. Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a more technique to be applied in this field. This research focuses on the development of home control system which is implemented by the related Zigbee devices. In the hardware, the PC platform, in which the GUI is adopted, is utilized to monitor the network.Moreover, to gather the environment information and to control the switch, the Zigbee gateway,sensor nodes and home module are added to implement these functions. In the software, the GUI
is programmed by JAVA and the NES C is utilized to write the communication program. The proposed architecture possesses the following salient features: module design, plug-and-play wireless components, combination of WSN and power line, new energy-saved and low cost
strategy for home control system. The object of energy-saved and low cost wireless home control system is implemented in this research.
