英文摘要：

The background and advantages of ZigBee are introduced. The applications of the home monitoring system based on zigBee wireless sensor networks were discussed. A new scheme of the home monitoring system is presented. The design and development of the software and hardware of the proposed system are given. By use of CC2430 as the core controller and achieving compatibility of appliances which are controlled by infrared, the system can monitor home environment and con trol kinds of appliances . It is shown that the system can effectively covers ZigBee signal in the 250-square-meter room. With strong scalability and high reliability, this system will owns very broad application prospects of the market.
