Abstract
This paper attempts to integrate the wireless sensor network (WSN) into the smart home system. To this end, a smart home system was developed based on the basic radio frequency (RF) WSN. First, the author introduced the architecture, nodes and features of the WSN. Then, the design process of the smart home system was detailed. The hardware of the system consists of such three parts as the master control, wireless transceiver and sensor terminal; the software of the system includes the basic-RF WSN program and the master module STM32 programme. After that, the established system was applied to temperature collection and control. The results show that the collected temperature agreed well with the temperature measured by the thermometer. Finally, the temperature control effect of the system was successfully simulated with a potentiometer and an LED lamp. The research findings shed new light on the design of smart homes.

Coupled with remote control technology, the WSN is being integrated into the smart home system
The design of a smart home system based on WSN mainly involves three parts sensors acquiring data, wireless transceiver chips sending or receiving data and commands, and the master chip processing data
Summary
With the technical development of sensor, semiconductor and embedded system, the wireless sensor network (WSN) has become a research hotspot. The WSN is an organic integration of cutting-edge information technologies, such as data sensing, embedded computing, wireless communication and distributed information processing. It is much more flexible, stable and scalable than the traditional. One of the potential application fields of the WSN is the innovative concept of smart home. Coupled with remote control technology, the WSN is being integrated into the smart home system. This move greatly enhances the flexibility, stability and scalability of the home network [13, 14]. The temperature control effect of the system was successfully simulated with a potentiometer and an LED lamp
