This section presents a block diagram of the system and its components, which
serves to illustrate principal parts or functions of the system and the interaction
between them. For our system, the main hardware parts are the server, and the
micro controller which controls the appliance or device. In order to control the
devices you need an Internet connection first. The PC users is the transmitter that
gives a command to the receiver (server) and the receiver will pass the data came
from the user to the PIC and the data will convert into binary code and compared
this code to the program that pre-stored in the PIC. From the PIC the data is
converted into signals that pass through the relays to give this command to the
devices to perform the given task. The device will give feedback to the relay and
pass to the PIC and the PIC will give task to the receiver to give reply to the
transmitter.

This section explains how the system works. We used this diagram to show the
flow of data in the system. The user can never access the server without
authentication. The user must enter the correct username and password first in
order to communicate with the server. After authentication the user can now
manipulate the devices by accessing the server. The server is now responsible of
sending that command to the microcontroller and from the microcontroller to the
devices. After the devices received that command it will feedback its status so that
the user will know if it has being on or off, basically for verification purposes and
