The appliances used in our home operate using different control mechanisms. Some are controlled using an IR remote controller and some are operated manually using switches. To implement a smart home control system, this paper aims at development of a web based remote control to control the appliances in the home. The design involves decoding of IR remote patterns of the appliances. The Raspberry Pi3 microcontroller is used as a web server. When a particular button is pressed on the developed webpage, the relevant code is transmitted through a IR transmitter to perform the desired control operation on the device or home appliance. A media player remote is decoded here for experimentation. Lights and fans in the home can also be operated through the same webpage.............
