We developed the HAT (Home Appliance Translator)
and HAT-Sub to enable conventional appliances without
telecommunication capabilities to connect to home networks. The
demand is rising for home appliances to connect to networks so
that they can be remotely controlled, however, purchasing information
appliances places financial strain on users. If conventional
appliances could connect to home networks, this problem would
be solved. X-10 devices can do that, but they can only turn
appliances on and off. HATs and HAT-Subs allow more advanced
control and determine the state of a conventional appliance in
more detailed by using an IR signal and supplied electricity. The
user can program a VCR and adjust the temperature of a heater
and remotely determine whether those tasks were correctly done
by using HATs and HAT-Subs. These devices use power lines for
automatic communication. Users can construct home networks
more easily and cheaply, without information appliances, new
communication infrastructures, or complex settings.
