Abstract: Abstract The paper reports the concept of smart-home wherein the day to day household activities are controlled by a wireless RF sensor. The control activity is based on the detection of existence of human being inside any specific area of the home. The confirmation of the human existence is based on the detection of human respiration rate and heartbeats. A concurrent dualband RF sensor is employed for the remote detection of the human beings inside the house. The proposed sensor is found better in terms of reducing the false alarms and dead zones in the detection process. Apart from controlling household activities, the concept can be extended for elderly people home care, in hospital ICUs and especially to initiate through wall detection for law enforcing agencies.
