IP Based Device Control

Computer Science and Engineering

The IP based device control kit is to be used to implement a home automation console that can be easily accessible from distant places through a simple web server running inside the home. This kit IP based device control details a design for controlling devices through network. By the implementation of the design, one can control various electrical devices, using the embedded web servers from a remote location through intranet which may be extended to internet. In the kit IP based device control through this model one can off/on the device, can read their present status (whether on/off. The protocol followed here is used for LAN network. The basic functionalities in this proposed system includes automatic control of Lights and other electrical / electronic appliances. Internet-enabled hardware products are slowly becoming popular. In this kit IP based device control, the device can be controlled from two different places. One from the server end itself and other from client end which is any place connected with the internet. The interfacing of the devices with the communication port has been done using Visual Basic 6.0 interface. The socket programming of the devices, which is used to control the device from the internet.
