Abstract
Smart home automation is expected to improve living standards with the evolution of internet of things (IoT) that facilitate the remote control of residential appliances. There are, however, several factors that require attention for broader successful consumer adoption. This paper focusses on three key barriers: (i) different underlying technologies requiring an integrated voice-based control for ease of use, (ii) lack of trust due to security and privacy concerns, and (iii) unawareness of the use of machine intelligence by users for exploiting the full potential of smartness. Voice-controlled home environments are possible with cloud-based solutions that are being deployed commercially. However, there are drawbacks due to non-standard voice channels and commands with delays in meeting the required response time for real-time services. Adoption is also required to meet with the expected goals of simplicity, security, and integration. To address these barriers, we propose a model integrating IoT services and wireless technologies for developing a secure smart home automation with a voice-controlled artificial intelligence system. We demonstrate the model’s application in a variety of practical use cases, by implementing a secure and smart voice-based system for an integrated control of several home devices seamlessly.

Summary
The momentous evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled the realisation of smart homes of the future [1]. To enable the perceived value for consumers, it is important to implement any proposed model, with typical use cases We consider this approach for demonstrating how an easy-to-use voice-based smart home environment could be achieved. Commercially available voice-assisted technologies lack personalisation, standardisation, security, and integration as they focus on only specific applications Such off-the-shelf solutions are not capable of providing a common platform for all types of users, including the elderly, to interact with several disparate IoT devices in a home environment [17,18,19]. We propose a secure and integrated model, connecting IoT devices and appliances, to implement a smart home automation with a voice-based command and control approach.
