| Resumo: | In the coming years will surely attend to a growing demand for innovative, versatile, economical, high performance and easy use for home automation applications. Motivations to provide the housing to some degree of intelligence derived from the requirements on increasing the level of comfort, security, entertainment, energy efficiency and autonomy, rational use of water resources and ubiquitous access to different types of information services. This thesis describes the implementation of a home automation network based on Ethernet and CANopen. The implementation passed by the lifting of the different type os sensors and network protocolos normaly used at home automation and further defining the network architecure. To demonstrate the operation of the system an demonstrator had been implemented using a small representative portion of the proposed network arquitecture. The demonstrator includes a small lighting system using the implemented sensors board and the CANopen-Ethernet gateway.
