Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world's population has undergone different changes in which an impact on the use of the internet stands out from daily aspects such as education, commerce, health, among others; which has made us highly dependent on its usage. In this regard, the term Internet of Things (IoT) has been increasingly recognized for its contribution to improving people's life quality, through objects that are integrated and connected to the Internet. This document aims to introduce alternatives for IoT-based home automation making use of NodeMCU, Sinric Pro, and smart voice assistants such as Google Home and Alexa. The proposals are efficient in terms of easy implementation and reduce electricity consumption by around 30%. This document is research that helps families improve their energy efficiency and daily productivity through IoT.
Highlights
One of the concepts that have become increasingly popular in recent years is the Internet of Things (IoT) [1]
Despite the increase in popularity the IoT has had in recent years, especially in home automation [11], the opportunity to implement this type of technology has not been taken advantage of [12]
Four alternatives of low electricity consumption and cost are proposed for home automation using the NodeMCU, Sinric Pro as well as two additional alternatives that use the most popular smart speakers, Google Home and Amazon Alexa
Summary
One of the concepts that have become increasingly popular in recent years is the Internet of Things (IoT) [1]. There are several IoT applications, such as: knowing the status and evolution of a patient remotely [6], applications to monitor environmental pollution [7], monitoring of domestic electrical energy [8], [9], the implementation of smart homes [10], [11] or in smart buildings [12]. All these projects help people by generating a positive impact on their quality of life. The present work aims to analyze and offer low energy consumption and cost automation alternatives using IoT using NodeMCU and Sinric Pro. the proposal includes the integration of mobile applications of Google Home and Amazon Alexa virtual assistants, as well as smart speakers. All this looking for a positive impact on improving productivity and energy saving
