Lighting and Appliance Automation
WISH uses the X10 protocol to control lighting and appliances by sending high frequency command packets down standard household AC power lines.
W.I.S.H.
- Wheelchair Integrated System
for the Home
Simple tasks such as switching the lights off in a room may seem like an easy task for some. This project investigates the design and implementation of WISH (Wheelchair Integrated System for the Home), a system that would allow wheelchair users to control crucial elements such as lighting and appliances in their house with ease.
WISH is the first to specifically address the issues a wheelchair user might face and thus is developed as such. With features such as voice recognition, GPS tracking, health monitoring and emergency communication, WISH aims to restore a sense of independence for wheelchair users through custom automation technology.

Mobile Application
A smartphone app developed in Java for the Android system acts as the central control interface for WISH.
Server Interface
Our system uses a Raspberry Pi as a low power server (written in Python) to interface the mobile application with the X10 controllers.
