This thesis describes the development and implementation of a home automation system for rental properties. It can connect to a variety of wireless sensors, lights and other devices from different vendors with a user interface accessible from a computer or a smart phone. An additional goal of this project was to make the system locally or remotely controlled. The automation system should be flexible enough to be implemented in any type of rental property. This project targeted a typical student rental apartment in the City of Tampere and the focus of the system concentrated on lighting control, leak detection, temperature monitoring and security. An open-source home automation platform was selected based on the hardware required to run the system, the number of supported devices and the size of an active community behind the platform. The hardware to run the home automation system was selected based on its expandability options. The controllable devices and sensors suitable for this project were selected based on their cost and characteristics. The ZigBee protocol was chosen for this project. The result of this project is a fully functional home automation system that can be implemented into any rental property, which allows you to control, schedule and/or automate any ZigBee light or a controllable outlet. It also offers the possibility to monitor ZigBee sensors that provide various pieces of information such as whether a door is open or closed, the temperature, light levels and leak detection. The system can be monitored and/or controlled locally and remotely.
