This document describes the design of a remote intelligent home system based on ZigBee and GPRS technology. The system allows a user to control home appliances remotely using an SMS from their mobile phone. It detects any interruptions in the home, such as a person entering, and sends a notification message. The main components are a PIC microcontroller, LCD display, sensors, keypad, RS-232, ZigBee module and GPRS to control appliances and detect intrusions when the user is away from home.
