Voice Controlled Home Automation System Using Arduino

Abstract

Establishing home automation system to  improve comfort, convenience and quality of life has  gained popularity and effectiveness during last decades.  This has encouraged researchers to develop flexible  techniques for home automation systems which are user  friendly and cost effective. For home automation utilizing  smartphone with microcontroller and application platform  seems attractive option. Among various schemes proposed  by researchers voice controlled home automation is seems  effective since it reduces human efforts and errors with  improved efficiency. These systems also addresses problem  of elderly/ disabled people else they require dedicated  human assistance to control the household appliances. In  this paper a voice controlled home automation system is  designed and implemented using Arduino UNO, bluetooth  HC 05 and smartphone. The Bluetooth module transmits  data for controlling receives input signal from a device  having bluetooth compatibility viz smartphone with  interface software Arduino-Uno. The system prototype is  operated by the voice commands for household electrical  appliances electric lamp and table fan.
