Abstract: The home networking market is growing rapidly and wireless technologies play an important role in the most home networks. Wireless home automation networks comprise wireless embedded sensors and actuators that enable monitoring and control applications for home user comfort and efficient home management. The major design challenge of home automation is to choose best standard for controlling devices in existing home environments without any changes in infrastructure. In recent years Zigbee was the promising technology for home automation. But, nowadays there are some other standards (like Bluetooth LE, INSTEON and EnOcean) which give their best for controlling home devices. This thesis presents an overview of different wireless communication standards by comparing their main features in terms of various metrics such as range, frequency band, maximum node count, security, cost and market adoption. This thesis concludes with a statement of which technology will be the best and most cost effective solution to end user.
Keywords: Wireless Technology, Home Automation, Bluetooth LE, ZigBee, Insteon, Enocean.
