ABSTRACT
Information Technology has come along way since its introduction. The 21st
century has brought Information Technology to new heights and as such that we cannot function properly without any use of Information Technology. And this is where the Intelligent Home system comes in: to provide a means for users to assure them that when they leave home for work, they would also have peace in mind knowing that the system would monitor and take care of their household from anywhere they are through the World Wide Web. With that intention in mind, Information Technology would truly achieve its original objective of improving the efficiency of users through Information Technology. Overview of the project is basically concepts of what those has already been developed but are not widely used yet. It is called with few names which are Smart Home, Home Automation, Home Networking and few other names. It is mostly aim to be conveniences' to all home owners when they are not at home. It is known to mostly in the area of the software and hardware. Electronic devices and overview of the circuit used is stated. Keeping the requirements of modern Intelligent Home system accommodating most desirable features the web-based remote has been designed and reported. The selected appliances are to be controlled remotely through internet and also by local means.
