Voice-Based Automation Control Platform for Home Electrical Devices

Abstract

Voice control automation system is a system that enables the control of appliances with your voice through which an android application and an Arduino mega board is used to control the relay through which an appliance is switched on/off. The aim of the research was to develop a voice support platform, design an interface for a Bluetooth medium and a microcontroller board (Arduino board), activate communication between an android device and the Bluetooth-enabled microcontroller board wirelessly via Bluetooth communication, detect and transfer speech data via Bluetooth to the microcontroller board, prepare a software to run on the microcontroller that will perform the necessary control, and prepare the software to run on the android device in other to get speech data and transferring over Bluetooth. The methodology used in this project was waterfall model. The output design of the proposed system consists of the Bluetooth module, Arduino, and the relays. The Bluetooth module receives the input data and sends it to the Arduino, and then it processes the input command and sends an output signal to a particular relay required for switching. The complete application software was achieved successfully by using Android, C Language, Bluetooth module, microcontroller, and relay.
