In this article we would like to show how an arbitrary home and building electronic system based on the home automation standards such as Xl0 might be addressed and controlled by an appropriate mobile technology. Urge for mobility of users, which may be at the same time either the inhabitants of these homes or even administrators and supporters, is growing. The possibility to control and observe the status of home appliances while being on the move away from home using our mobile phones is becoming reality today. As an example we will introduce theć prototype system, which gained a lot of attention on the last INFOS conference and was made functional throughout the cooperation of two Slovenian companies, Gorenje and HERMES Softlab. While Gorenje developed a so-called kitchen center, an unique all-in-one home appliance controlled by the personal computer, HERMES Softlab contributed the X10 PLC protocol environment and HERMES SoftLabćs Smart Service Mediator (SSM)platform, well known from the mobile operatorsć world, which enable mobile users to control their automated home remotely using ordinary mobi le phones and short messaging system (SMS). When developed, this prototype system presented one of the worldćs first attempts to integrate the home automation system with the GSM network using the SMS.
