Abstracts: This project is about to design and develop a PC based control for home automation via Microsoft visual studio 6.0 (VB.NET 2010). This design will able to control electrical devices in the home. This design will use a home computer to communicate with a panel board through the parallel port that interface to devices and allow the user to manage these devices manually or automatically. Manual operation will be through a graphical user interface on computer that will allow the user to select a device and then change its state whether on or off. automatically operation will allow the action to perform based on a user required entered into the software on the computer. A relay circuit board will be used to interface between electrical device and vb.net and the output from vb.net will be transmitted via parallel port DB9 to the relay circuit. The circuit will activate the relay . Moreover, visual studio programming that writes is more flexible to make it user-friendly and the graphics are more interesting . The significant of this project will help user to control electrical applications automtically.
