Abstract(s)

Since the mid 90’s, there is a growing number of remote labs available through the Internet. Several solutions for harmonizing the software and hardware used for implementing this resource have already been proposed and described in literature. However, the present and perceived situation is the lack of such a thing like a standard approach to implement a remote lab, both in terms of hardware and software. This is also true when considering two common aspects to all remote labs: the physical space occupied by each and the power supply to the hardware used in it. In this paper we try to address these two common aspects by proposing the use of a standard domotic system, usually used in smart homes, able to control both the physical environment associated to the remote lab and the power supply to the devices and apparatus used on the experiments hosted at such remote lab.
