Bluetooth And Arduino Uno-Based Voice-Controlled Home Automation System

People nowadays seek strategies to improve their lifestyles by utilizing the most up-to-date technologies. Also, the physically challenged find it difficult to do minor tasks alone in the home. Home automation systems are getting more attention coinciding with developments in the Internet of Things. In line with assistive technology, this project demonstrates the implementation of a low-cost home automation system by designing and building a microcontroller-based system for controlling and monitoring home devices with the use of a voice remote control system that allows data to be transferred through wireless media. The technology is simple to use and is built on an Android-based smartphone with an easy interface. Demonstrations reveal that the system makes it easier for the system’s intended users (the elderly and the disabled) to operate lighting, heating, cooling, and security systems in their homes.
