Home network system and home control device used in the same

Abstract

There is provided a user-friendly home network system in which a user can easily operate a home electric device. The home network system (200) includes a plurality of home electric devices (9 to 16) connected to a home network (5) and a home control device (8) for controlling the home electric devices (9 to 12, 14, 16) according to input data obtained from input units (9, 13, 15, 24, 25, 27, 29). The input units (9, 13, 15, 24) are inputted while being correlated to the life state as a stationary behavior of the user daily life. The home control device (8) includes: a storage unit (22) for storing input data and home electric device control contents correlated with the life state; a selection unit for selecting a home electric device control content matched with the input data obtained from the input units (9, 13, 15, 24); and a control unit (21) for remote-controlling the home electric devices (9 to 12, 14, 16) via a home network (5) according to the home electric device control content.
