Abstract
Electrical appliances of the home network via the Internet can be controlled using the ZigBee system and the UPnP expansion like the ones in the same home network without the modification of the existing UPnP. In this paper, we propose an Internet gateway that consists of ZigBee and the UPnP IGD (Internet gateway device) DCP(device control protocol) and the UPnP bridge for the control of electrical appliances of the Internet home network with a low data rate and low power consumption. ZigBee technology is a low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wireless networking protocol targeted towards automation and remote control applications. The UPnP IGD DCP is the configurable initiation and sharing of Internet connections, advanced connection-management, management of host configuration, and supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. The UPnP bridge searches for local home network devices by sending control messages. Control points of the UPnP bridge searches for devices of interest on the Internet and can deliver the control devices on other home networks to devices within its home network. With our approach, devices can control home electrical appliances and ZigBee System via Internet through IGD DCP on other home network with control commands of the UPnP.
