Abstract

In this paper, we introduced a home automation system with redundancy. Focus was shifted more on redundancy other than the use of sensors due to some reliability issues and common deviations associated with sensors. We went ahead to include remote connection to the home by the use of wide area network(WAN) connection, a timer and a computer system which was programmed to monitor, control as well as serve as an override device. A small survey was carried out to see the discrepancy on the knowledge of home automation among the people leaving in South-West part of Nigeria.
