The purpose of this study was to identify the level of awareness, uses, and satisfaction on home automation systems by the digital home residents, to reveal the existing problems using home automation systems, and to clarify residents' positive or negative life changes after using home automation systems. Two apartment complexes, which were relatively well equipped with home automation systems compared to other recently built apartments, were selected to perform the survey by digital home residents who were housewives and have lived in current home more than 6 months. The researcher developed a survey questionnaire for each apartment complex and collected data from 501 residents from May to June, 2008. The results of the study found low awareness and low uses of remote control systems of electric appliances through a cellular phone or PC from outside. Also, the significant variables which showed group differences in level of uses and satisfation were age, annual income, duration of residence, and level of considering home automation system before decision to move in. The results of the study also revealed that frequent breakdown was the most critical problem using home automation systems. Generally, using home automation systems affected to residents' life changes positively. More findings and suggestions for development of more user-friendly digital home services were discussed.

In 21 century, it is difficult to define the limit of home automation, Recently, based on the advanced digital communication technology and necessity, The scope of the home automation has widened to home energy management, integrated reading of home and home health care etc. beyond the existing home automation. However, those methodologies reduce the efficiency and economy, and make it harder to realize a compact home automation because those methodologies are proposed independently without a unified standard. Therefore, this paper investigates and analyzes these methodologies, and then proposes an advanced home automation system that enables a compact design and improves the efficiency and economics of the home automation system based on the analyzed result.

Home-Automation which it automates as connection home by network gives human beings to many conveniences but there is problem must solve. Rightly it is an illegal infiltration against the information transmission and a joint ownership of information home appliance machinery and tools. Especially design of Home Automation is necessary for Information Security because the vulnerability is exposed when it is connecting on the mobile communication terminal and the home appliance machinery and tools. In this research, we're going to help to function and efficiency improvement of Korean Home-Automation by Security Design and proposal for a research and development of Korean Home-Automation.

Government is supporting development of home networking. But, this new system is much expensive to introduce in the home. And limit for establishment is so many in the home. Therefore, in this paper, We escape from monotonic control of Home Automation and draw a plan Intelligent Home Automation to be developed. We reflect Home Network to the foundation and propose Home Automation on Ubiquitous Sensor Network, We Design of Ubiquitous Home Automation System for 35-Pyung Apartment Based on USN Environment. This becomes the Home Automatic Behavior System which is executed to the automatic to be improved.

The purpose of this study was to define the residents' current uses and satisfaction of a home automation system. The data were collected from 85 residents living in a selected intelligent apartment, from whom 72 were used for the final analysis. The results were as follows: 1) The educational background was the most significant variable affecting differences among the groups in terms of use of the home automation system. 2) Even though the over 50 years age group showed a tendency toward lower technology acceptance, their utilization rates of the home automation system were higher than those of the under 40 years age group. 3) The respondents with dual income showed higher rates of utilization of the home automation system than the single income group. 4) In spite of positive satisfaction level for the home automation system, many improvements were still requested.

Recently the idea of a home automation has been an important issue in many publications and home appliances companies. Home automation is a house or living environment that contains the technology to allow devices and systems to be controlled automatically. Remote and local control are useful to keep home comfortable and to support the elderly and the disabled people. In this paper, we discuss possible developments of Bluetooth wireless technologies and describe the hardware for devices and software for the considerations of a home automation system. Finally, we have validated the testbed by simulating in the Bluetooth home network.

Recently, IT industry by digital technique is improved gradually. Therefore many electronic appliance became the digital, and this is magnified gradually. The development of embedded home automation system combined embedded and internet technique is taking many interest. Specially in the times of the ubiquitous, excellent economically home automation system is preferred even in general family. Therefore, in this paper, we escape from monotonic control of home automation and draw a plan intelligent home automation to be developed.
