Voice-Based Home Automation

Abstract

The trending topic in the 21st Century isAutomation which plays an important role inour daily lives. The main purpose of any automated system is reducing human labor, effort, time, and errors due to human negligence. Advancement of Modern technology, smartphones have become a necessity for every person on this planet. Applications are being enhanced on Android systems that are useful to us in various ways. The further upcoming approach is natural language processing which enables us to command and control things with our voice. With all these, our paper presents a microcontroller-based voice-controlled home automation system using smartphones. Such a system will enable users to have control over every appliance in one's home with their voice. The users need is to have an Android smartphone which is present in almost everybody's hand nowadays and a control circuit. An Arduino Uno microcontroller is situated in a control circuit, which processes the user commands and controls the switching of devices. Bluetooth, a widespread wireless technology used for sharing data connects the microcontroller and the smartphone.
