Currently, technology is integrated in all objects of our daily life. TCP/IP let us monitor our home in real time and check ubiquitously if something is happening at home. Bearing in mind this idea, we have developed a low-cost system, which can be used in any type of electrical household appliance that takes information from the appliance and posts the information to the Twitter Social network. Several sensors placed in the household appliances gather the sensed data and send them wired or wirelessly, depending on the case, using small and cheap devices to a gateway located in the home. This gateway takes decisions, based on the received data, and sends notifications to Twitter. We have developed a software application that takes the values and decides when to issue an alarm to the registered users (Twitter friends of our smart home). The performance of our system has been measured taking into account the home network (using IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.11g) and the data publishing in Twitter. As a result, we have generated an original product and service for any electrical household appliance, regardless of the model and manufacturer, that helps home users improve their quality of life. The paper also shows that there is no system with the same innovative features like the ones presented in this paper. 000058530 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000058530 590__ $$a1.953$$b2012 000058530 591__ $$aINSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION$$b9 / 57 = 0.158$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000058530 591__ $$aELECTROCHEMISTRY$$b15 / 26 = 0.577$$c2012$$dQ3$$eT2 000058530 591__ $$aCHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL$$b38 / 74 = 0.514$$c2012$$dQ3$$eT2 000058530 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000058530 700__ $$aMacías, E. 000058530 700__ $$aSuárez, A. 000058530 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4773-4904$$aLacuesta, R.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000058530 7102_ $$15007$$2570$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Informática e Ingeniería de Sistemas$$cLenguajes y Sistemas Informáticos 000058530 773__ $$g12, 11 (2012), 15159-15191$$pSensors$$tSENSORS$$x1424-8220 000058530 8564_ $$s1702652$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/58530/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000058530 8564_ $$s98633$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/58530/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000058530 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:58530$$particulos$$pdriver 000058530 951__ $$a2017-01-17-13:24:23 000058530 980__ $$aARTICLE
