Abstract: The concept of smart home is an emerging issue to the modern technology dependent society. Remote control technologies are widely used to control household electronic appliances without walking up to them. Controlling household appliances through computer can also be a possible solution. However, it cannot fulfil the current demand which is to control them from remote places. The advantages of cellular communications like GSM technology is a potential solution for such remote controlling activities. GSM-SMS technology can be used to control household appliances from remote places. With these hypotheses, three different approaches have been proposed and implemented in this paper. Firstly, household appliances are controlled by server mobile which acts as remote control. Secondly, GSM-SMS messaging technology is used to control them from remote places and finally, to provide a multiple agents environment. This paper discusses about the design and implementation issues of such smart home.
