Abstract

The primary objective of this home automation study is to facilitate the implementation of a voice-controlled capabilities, primarily designed to assist individuals with disabilities or seniors. The system presented in this research enables wireless control of various household devices, such as lights, fans, and any electrical appliances through a dedicated mobile application. This voice-controlled home automation system leverages an android smartphone and a microcontroller using an android application to manage household appliances. The system can be accessed by user name and password. This system is designed with three main control interfaces such as Bluetooth connectivity, voice recognition, and manual control switching. The google cloud speech API which can convert spoken words into text is utilized for voice recognition. This generated text is then transmitted to the designated slave device, facilitating home automation through Bluetooth communication. Additionally, the system provides a manual control switch for user convenience. To control high-voltage appliances safely, an enhanced microcontroller is employed, incorporating a relay circuit for ON/OFF functionality. The developed prototype, encompassing both hardware and software components, has undergone comprehensive testing, validating its security features and compatibility with various home appliances. This innovative home automation system not only offers enhanced convenience but also prioritizes security, providing an attractive alternative to commercial solutions.
