The document proposes a smart home control network that combines wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and power line communications (PLCs) to reduce wireless interference and unnecessary energy consumption. An isolated WSN is established in each room to monitor environmental parameters and transfer data to a management station via PLCs rather than WSNs. Experimental results showed the proposed network mitigated wireless interference. It also presented a smart lighting control algorithm and analysis showing electricity use for lighting could be reduced by at least 40% with smart controls on sunny or cloudy days.
