Home automation technologies have emerged more than four dec- ades ago, but are undeniably a current subject of interest. Existing systems are usually highly customized, therefore expensive or very sophisticated and com- plicated, most of which requiring dedicated network cabling. The present paper presents a system for monitoring and control of an ordinary house in a simple and inexpensive manner. The ZigBee protocol is chosen so as to provide a reliable and secure wireless communication without additional cabling required. The data is transmitted to a computer that records and monitors any eventual threshold crossings. The control part is represented by simple means of acting upon an LED, based on data collected from the sensor network and processed accordingly.
