Abstract
Reducing the electricity consumption is better for the planet and help to reduce harmful greenhouse releases. Hence, this paper proposes house appliances controller apps that can control and calculate the power usage of house appliances. Besides, the apps can control and set the auto-time based such as how long the light must be in switch on. This is important because the house might be a target for a thief when the light continuously on. The objectives of this paper are to identify and develop features of the mobile controller app and for the house appliances. The expected outcome would be a fully functional mobile application and web-based system namely as HomeBot.
