Design of smart home system based on Linux

Abstract

In this study, a smart home system designed based on Short Message Service (SMS) and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) for embedded Linux platform was presented, just for resolving the problem of management. SMS is a new communication method who has the merits of easy development, low cost, free service and high reliability; CGI is the basic approach, by which the client can communicate with the web server. This article introduces a newly developed remote wireless control based on SMS and explains the properties and design techniques of CGI in the embedded environments. The system realizes the smart control of home appliances. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
