Abstract

To control operational and technical functions in Smart Homes using wireless system xComfort a visualization software application was developed. Visualization was created as a web application for operational data storage. In terms of communication between a database using visualization and active elements, a software driver was created which makes this communication possible. Visualization was made with regard to user requirements, web interface, ability to control the software through a mobile phone and also with regard to easy expandability, scalability and modularity.
