Voice Controlled Home Automation using Microcontroller

Abstract

Voice Controlled Home Automation is a very useful project for the adults and physically disabled persons, who are not able to do various activities efficiently when they are at home and need one's assistant to perform those tasks. With the Voice Recognition the complication of wiring in case of wired automation is prevented. With the use of Bluetooth Home Automation considerable amount of power saving is possible and it is flexible and compatible with future technologies so it can be easily customized for individual requirements. Voice recognition system provides secure access to home. In the recent years, the Home Automation systems have seen rapid changes due to introduction of various wireless technologies. Paper presents the overall design of 'Voice Controlled Home Automation', which we are currently developing. The automation recognizes voice commands given by the user and transfers it to our microcontroller which detects the voice command and proceeds with the switching accordingly. We are using Microcontroller & Bluetooth module HC05 to implement our vision. Further we are trying to implement the same on a more user friendly and bigger scale. The home automation system is intended to control all lights and electrical appliances in a home or office using voice commands.
