Abstract
Objectives: This article describes the development and implementation of a domotic system communication using as channel domiciliary mains (110 V/60 Hz) to control one or more devices used at home, from the study of the low-proposed stress as a means of data transport. Methodology: The control is performed by software developed in C++ Builder and installed on a PC, using a microcontroller for addressing and two cards PLC 101s-12A for coupling to the line and the FSK modulation for data transmission. Findings: By analyzing the behavior of the system, evaluating the relationship between the behavior of the channel (mains) and data transmitted as well as the cost/benefit ratio to establish the advantages of the prototype to other technologies offered by the current market, it is determined to be a viable proposal to be implemented in households. Applications/Improvements: The system can be used to control devices in residential and industrial environments using the electric network as a physical transmission medium, an aspect that can be considered of great importance when designing and implementing a home automation control solution. For future research work it is suggested the design of prototypes that allow establishing alternative communication processes and coexisting with PLC, in order to generate mechanisms of redundancy and efficiency during the periods of transmission and control of processes.

Highlights
The low-voltage power grid has become the best means of transmission for control and home automation because it is not necessary to install additional wiring to existing, considerably reducing costs[1,2]

The transmission rate 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 bps and the distance to a limit of 230 m was varied. They measure the amplitude of the output signal of the transmitter and the amplitude of the signal received by the receiver bandwidth is taken and communication quality, and succeeded in identifying the degree of deterioration to which it is subjected due to attenuation, noise and harmonic distortion present in the power line
Summary
The low-voltage power grid has become the best means of transmission for control and home automation because it is not necessary to install additional wiring to existing, considerably reducing costs[1,2]. The implemented system provides the ability to manage network features, such as noise, attenuation, distortion and impedance, being in line with current standards in domotics. Proposals like this allow you to develop products of very good performance and low-cost developed by unknown in the Western market, which in the hands of skilled in electronic engineering can be improved and supplemented companies, for use in multiple applications and be able to compete in a market like Colombia.
