本研究將使用最新的無線傳輸協定ZigBee 來建置一套「家庭自動化系統」,用來做傳輸控制訊號的媒介,由於ZigBee 具有省電、可靠度高、高度擴充性之特性,非常適用在建置「家庭自動化系統」,它能改善傳統「家電網路」實體配線不易與日後線路檢修困難等問題。 本系統主要分為三大部份。第一部份前端硬體架構與ZigBee 家電網路、硬體使用單晶片來製作控制電路板,家電網路採用ZigBee 來傳輸訊號,家電網路包含RFD 裝置及coordinator 裝置,RFD 裝置安裝於電器產品上,Coordinator 裝置則與家電伺服器做連接。第二部份家電伺服器、包含家電控制平台及MySQL 資料庫,平台採用Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 來開發。第三部份後端平台、包含Apache Server 與PHP 網頁介面。
This study is focused on employing wireless transmission protocol ZigBee to implement a home automation system. Because of the merits of ZigBee with reliability, reduced-power consumption and expandablity, therefore, it is suitable to be utilized in building a home system to enhance hardware and maintenance problems. There are three parts included in this research system. The first part contains the hardware structure and ZigBee home appliance of the automation system, in which a microchip is used to control circuit operation as well as ZigBee is employed as a interface for signal transmission. Home appliance server that consist of control platform and MySQL database is in the second part of our system, the platform operation is based on Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. The last part is an Apache server and PHP homepage interface.
