Abstract

This paper proposes a universal device controller which enables people to control day to day devices and appliances around them with a vastly reduced complexity and effort. This paper details the implementation of a unified hardware platform for monitoring, controlling and automating everyday electronic appliances and devices. The proposed solution is flexible and capable of expansion. The universality of the proposed device enables people to use their own smartphones, tablets or PCs as the remote to control appliances, devices or robots not only at their home or workplace but anywhere they go.
