Abstract: The smart homes concept is widely used nowadays, as well as many different standards and technologies that exist which enable to remotely control almost every home appliance. In this paper, we would like to address universal solution of remote control based on available widely used hardware solution which allows to connect not only current appliances from different producers, but also older appliances which support only the handling via a controller on the basis of infrared transfer. Finally, these non-smart home appliances are going to be integrated in whole smart environment and also be as smart as other new appliances. The part of the solution is the interface for the connection of the application to current smart home systems and an intelligent recognition and an automatisation of user's actions with controllers. The result of the implementation is a functional prototype with all required design (PCB) and implementation. User testing also confirms the amount of time saved by using such device instead of original non-smart or not connected smart ones.
