Therefore, the existing home control system has a network device that can be connected to the network, so that the user can directly operate the mobile device through the network. The network device is connected to the network device, and further connected to the control device through the network device, so that the user can control each peripheral device in the home through the mobile device.

If the network device or the control device in the home control system is damaged, the user cannot control the peripheral device in the home through the mobile device, and the remote controller of each peripheral device must be retrieved to control each peripheral device separately, resulting in many inconvenient. Therefore, the prior art home control system is bound to be further improved.

In view of the shortcomings of the previous home control system that the network device is damaged, it is no longer possible to control through the mobile device. The present invention provides a remote control or near-end direct connection home control system, the remote control or near-end The directly connected home control system comprises: at least one peripheral device; a control device connected to the at least one peripheral device; and a mobile device determining whether the device can be connected to the control device; wherein, when the mobile device determines the control and the control device When the device is connected, the mobile device is connected to the control device, and is connected to the at least one peripheral device through the control device, so as to transmit a control signal to control the at least one peripheral device through the control device; when the mobile device determines that the When the control device is connected, the mobile device is directly wirelessly connected to the at least one peripheral device to transmit the control signal to control the at least one peripheral device.

Since the mobile device is connectable to the control device, it is connected to the control device to be connected to the at least one peripheral device for control through the control device, and is directly connected to the control device when it is not connected to the control device At least one peripheral device controls. In this way, even if the control device is damaged, the user directly controls the at least one peripheral device to perform control by operating the mobile device, without separately looking for the remote controller of each peripheral device to improve the control device. When it is damaged, the user cannot control the disadvantages of the peripheral devices in the home through the mobile device.
