碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 資訊與通訊系 === 102 === To establish the home automation, there are many places needed to be considered, for example, device compatibility, communication protocol, and power consumption. In the paper, we propose the use of an embedded Linux system for setting up servers to manage the HAN (Home Area Network, HAN)device node to control and monitor functions. To make home automation reach the stable quality, we chose Z-Wave as the transmission protocol of wireless signals. Z-Wave has the advantage of power saving, less limited number of nodes, stablity, and suitablity for the establishment of a home LAN.The Z-Wave chip can automatically enter sleep state after a period of inactivity, and then save unnecessary power consumption. After the actual test, we found that the Z-Wave chip getting into hibernation only consumes 140μA current per hour, and the chip with Bluetooth 3.0 consumes 20mA current per hour. The power consumption of Z-Wave chip is much lower than that of Bluetooth 3.0 chip. Under the same condition, Z-Wave power can be maintained for about 4 years, while Bluetooth 3.0 can only maintain 11 days or so. Z-Wave solves the problems of the power consumption in the home network, and regarding the network connection, it also has a certain degree of stability. This paper focus on the Z-Wave technology, smart phone and the controller with embedded chip to form the smart home. Experemental results show the superority and the commercial feasibility of such technology, compared with other technologies.
