  Eng: Not sure where you're stuck. The project looks interesting enough and it all depends on how you implement it and what feature set you decide.

  1) First arrange a PC and Ensure that it has parallel Port. Not Laptop. Ok. PC. New PC will have slots. You can connect a parallel port in slot. If the Slot is not there, you can connect an External one for 7$.
  
  2) Install .Net 2010, if your operating system is Vista 32bit/64 bit or Win7. Else install .Net 2008 for Xp (Sp2 is mandatory)
  
  3) Now parallel port has 8 data pins, 5 control pins. So in a simple way you can control 13 devices efficiently.
  
  4) Hardware Setup.
  
  A relay 6v,Optocoupler, 230 v, and As electrical Engineer you must be knowing how to control the bulb through a relay. Nice Now just connect one pin output from the LPT data port to relay. It can be programatically controlled through a very very very simple program in .Net. you need to download inpout32.dll for xp, and inpout64.dll for vista/win7. You can search for "Parallel Port Programming" + C#.Net + inpout32.dll. You have the program.
  
  5) For controlling Fan, you can have a regulator with each step connected to a relay. Never try for a Heater and Refrigerator!!!!! You can even go for TV on off.
  
  6) Taking the Command
  
  Options: a) Through SMS, GSM
  b) through Bluetooth
  c) Through Internet
  d) Through Voice
  e) Laser Light
  f) TV remote
  g) Telephone
  
  Clarify, what method you are interested on. I will provide the guidelines. Trust me. It is a fab project. I Value the effort more than than anything for evaluating a project. Remember building a Radio by yourself is a better project than purchasing an INR 20,000/- project with RFID, ARM micro controller and so on. This is a work that you can certainly work into.
