Developing prototype of web-based home controlling for teaching trainer

Abstract

High mobility of people in doing their activities needs a device, which could control electrical appliances from a distance. Connecting a computer over the Internet could realize a distant control system to monitor and control those appliances. This system could also attract students to study the system furthermore. This paper proposed a system, which could be used as a teaching media to introduce a simple distant control system. The systems should be evaluated in both of system working and users' responds when it is used as a teaching media. The results showed that even the speed of uploading and downloading was low, the system still can be updated the current situations. Furthermore, the prototype of web-based home controlling was suitable for a teaching trainer considering the validation result of material and media experts, and also implementation in a real class.
