In view of hidden troubles of various high-power electric appliances into student's apartment, proposes a high-power electric remote monitoring system based on the internet of things. Realizes the control function with S3C2440A as microprocessor, and achieves the high-power appliances remote automatic monitoring setting by means of the mixed hierarchical network combining ZigBee and GPRS communication modes. Simulation results show that the system can realize the remote control for high-power electric appliance. Keywords ：the internet of things；high-power electrical；ZigBee
