One of the ways to control intelligent home systems is with the use of user interfaces. They can be controlled from anywhere, if there is internet connection available. Various parameters of the network to which we are connected can reduce the responsiveness of the system. This causes problems since we need a system response in real time.
This thesis presents test results involving user responses to smart home simulations for different values of the network parameters. The changing parameters were: delay, jitter, error and loss. Tests were carried out in three networks: ADSL, Wi-Fi and 3G.
For the implementation of the tests, an intelligent home simulator and a computer, having an application for controlling intelligent home system and a network emulator for changing network parameters installed, were used.
