A home network system and a control method thereof. A user with a mobile
station at a remote location can control a home robot and monitor
security conditions and home appliance conditions at a house via a

adapted to transmit a control request message for the remote control of
the home robot and monitoring-request messages for the monitoring at a
house via a first network, and receive control result information related

corresponding request message to the home robot via a second network, and
receive the control result information and the monitoring information
from the home robot via the second network to transmit to the mobile
station.
