The implementation of technology at home has caught the attention of many people, especially if elderly, handicapped or disable people are living on it. It is important to consider that the technology must be friendly with users, and even adapt to their needs and desires [1]. In this research, we present the physical implementation of a general system to assist users and patients in daily activities or duties. The system was implemented in a room and include sensors, actuators and wireless agents. This research is focused on people with some movement restrictions. The results are very promising, the user was successfully able to move several elements in the room (like windows or blinds) using only a mobile device as a tablet or a smart phone. Additionally, in order to see his potential adaptation and versatility, several devices where connected successfully to give comfort to the users.
