ABSTRACT
Under the heading it is abbreviated as ―Networked home appliance system using Bluetooth
technology integrating appliance control/monitoring with Internet service‖
Here the monitoring and controlling of home appliances can be done from anywhere with
internet facility of service provider via mobile phone or desktop computer and high quality trans
receivers and Bluetooth or Zig Bee technology and other wireless technologies. There will be the
need of hardware and software components which could be properly composed at the source point
and destination for better results by which it establishes atomized scenario.

Keywords: Bluetooth; trancreceiverce; embedded system; protocol; hardware; software; Zig Bee.
