“automation plays a key role in human life. Home automation allows us to control household electrical appliances like light, door, fan, AC etc. It also provides home security and emergency system to be activated. Home automation not only refers to reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time saving. The main objective of home automation and security is to help handicapped and old aged people who will enable them to control home appliances and alert them in critical situations.
This project put forwards the implementation of home automation and security system using Arduino microprocessor and Android smartphone. Home appliances are connected to the microprocessor and communication is established between the Arduino and Android mobile device or tablet via Bluetooth module. We would develop an authentication to the system for authorized person to access home appliances. The device with low cost and scalable to less modification to the core is much important. It presents the design and implementation of automation system that can monitor and control home appliances via android phone or tablet
Voice controlled wireless smart home system has been presented for elderly and disabled people. The concept ofcontrolling home appliances using human voice is interesting. The proposed system has two main components, they are
(a) voice recognition system, and (b) wireless system. This system to control home appliances uses a voice controlled android application. By the increasing use of PC (personal computers), internet, mobile phone and wireless technology, it makes it easy for a user to remotely access and control the appliances.
A lot of research has been done and many solutions have been proposed to remotely access the home appliances. Some of them used internet, wireless technology to communicate and control home appliances, others used Bluetooth and GSM technology for controlling the home appliances.
The main aim of our system is to build a perfect companion for someone to be at home. Generally, home automation research targeted many needs like applications that provide the luxury and smart requirements while some threw light on the special needs for elderly and disabled etc. our system is a computer based system that can accept voice to direct commands and process them. The system provides us switching any device ON/OFF.”
