  This paper presents a novel home automation system named HASITE (Home
Automation System based on Intelligent Transducer Enablers), which has been
specifically designed to identify and configure transducers easily and quickly.
These features are especially useful in situations where many transducers are
deployed, since their setup becomes a cumbersome task that consumes a
significant amount of time and human resources. HASITE simplifies the
deployment of a home automation system by using wireless networks and both
self-configuration and self-registration protocols. Thanks to the application
of these three elements, HASITE is able to add new transducers by just powering
them up. According to the tests performed in different realistic scenarios, a
transducer is ready to be used in less than 13 s. Moreover, all HASITE
functionalities can be accessed through an API, which also allows for the
integration of third-party systems. As an example, an Android application based
on the API is presented. Remote users can use it to interact with transducers
by just using a regular smartphone or a tablet.
