A method of controlling a home appliance includes receiving a distance measurement request signal from a user equipment; transmitting, based on the received distance measurement request signal, an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication module activation signal to the user equipment and a second home appliance that includes a UWB antenna; receiving, from the second home appliance, a location measurement value of the user equipment measured with respect to the second home appliance, the location measurement value being based on a UWB signal between the user equipment and the second home appliance; determining location information about the user equipment, based on the location measurement value of the user equipment; receiving, from a first home appliance that does not include a UWB antenna, information about the first home appliance; and registering the first home appliance in the server device, based on the received information about the first home appliance and the location information about the user equipment.
