Abstract
The European population is becoming older and older, causing AT (Assistive Technology) and AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) topics to become increasingly important. A ZigBee based low-cost home automation system named CARDEA has been developed at the University of Parma, with the aim to allow elderly people to live their lives autonomously and independently. In this paper a new feature is presented, named CARDEAGate: a gateway monitoring system which allows to detect crossing of a doorway or a predefined gateway and, if the person is carrying a wearable ZigBee sensor, to identify he/she. This technology is very useful to supervise the habits of a not completely self-sufficient person monitoring the access to particular locations or tracking he/she in order to execute a long term behavioral analysis.
