VOICE CONTROLLED-HOME AUTOMATION

USING – ARDIUNO

INTRODUCTION
Home / Building automation is a system which will monitor and/or control home attributes such as
“lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances.” It may also include home security such as
access control, CCTV and alarm systems.
The phrase smart home refers to home automation devices that have internet access. Home automation, a
broader category, includes any device that can be monitored or controlled via wireless radio signals / voice
recognition, not just those having internet access. When connected with the Internet, home sensors and
activation devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things ("IoT").[2]
A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central smart home hub (sometimes
called a "gateway").
The user interface for control of the system uses either -wall-mounted (Arudiuno , HC-05 blue-tooth
module) terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that may
also be accessible off-site through the Internet.

HISTORY
Early home automation began with lab or-saving machines. Self-contained electric or gas powered home
appliances became viable in the 1900s with the introduction of electric power distribution[3] and led to the
introduction of washing machines (1904), water heaters (1889), refrigerators (1913), sewing
machines, dishwashers, and clothes dryers. In 1975, the first general purpose home automation network
technology, X10, was developed. It is a communication protocol for electronic devices. It primarily
uses electric power transmission wiring for signalling and control, where the signals involve brief radio
frequency bursts of digital data, and remains the most widely available.[4]

KEY FEATURES OF: VOICE CONTROLLED HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

1. Control of Smart Devices

Lighting Control: Turn lights on/off, dim, or change colors with voice commands.
Thermostat Adjustment: Set and adjust the temperature for heating and cooling.
Appliance Control: Manage smart appliances like ovens, coffee makers, or washing machines.
Security Systems: Arm or disarm alarms, lock/unlock doors, and check security camera feeds.

2. Scene and Routine Customization

Routines: Set up routines where multiple devices respond to a single command (e.g., “Good night” turns
off the lights, locks the doors, and adjusts the thermostat).
Scenes: Create customized settings for specific situations, like “Movie time” to dim the lights, close the
blinds, and turn on the TV.
3. Remote Access and Control
We can Control devices remotely via Smartphone apps or web interfaces, even when you’re not at home.
Check the status of connected devices and make adjustments using voice assistants like Alexa, Google
Assistant, or Siri.
4. Integration with Smart Assistants
Multi-Platform Support: Works with popular smart assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple
Siri.
Multi-Room Audio: Control music and media playback in different rooms using voice commands.
Calendar and Reminders: Set reminders, timers, and access calendar events through voice interaction.
5. Energy Management
Smart Thermostats: Adjust temperatures based on schedules or voice commands to save energy.
Lighting Automation: Schedule lights to turn on/off or dim based on occupancy to reduce energy usage.

COMPONENTS- OF VOICE CONTROL HOME AUTOMATION

1. Microcontroller
Arduino Board: Arduino Uno, Nano, or Mega depending on the number of devices you want to control.

2. Voice Recognition Module

Voice Recognition Module (e.g., Elechouse V3): This module captures and processes voice commands.
Alternatively, you can use Bluetooth Module (e.g., HC-05) paired with a smart phone app for voice
commands.

3. Relay Modules
Relay Module (1, 2, 4, or 8 channels): To control high-voltage appliances like lights, fans, and other
electronic devices.

4. Power Supply
Power Adapter: A suitable adapter (e.g., 5V, 2A) to power the Arduino and connected modules.

5. Sensors
Temperature Sensor (e.g., DHT11): For monitoring room temperature.
Motion Sensor (e.g., PIR sensor): For detecting motion in the room and automating lights or alarms.

6. Smartphone (Optional)
We used to send voice commands via Bluetooth if using a Bluetooth module instead of a dedicated voice
recognition module.

7. Software and Code

Arduino IDE: To write and upload code to the Arduino.
Voice Command App (if using Bluetooth): Apps like Bluetooth Voice Controller or custom apps developed
with platforms like MIT App Inventor

8. Other Components

Jumper Wires: For connections.

Breadboard: For prototyping.
Transistors,
Resistors, LEDs are Depending on your setup for status indicators and circuitry.
 10

Working Principle:

Voice Command Capture:

If using a voice recognition module, it listens for voice commands directly.
If using a Smartphone app, it records the command and sends it to the Arduino via Bluetooth.

Processing the Command:

The Arduino receives the command, interprets it based on predefined instructions (like “Turn on the light,”
“Turn off the fan”), and decides what action to take.

Controlling the Appliances:

Once the command is recognized, the Arduino sends a signal to the corresponding relay module.
The relay acts as a switch, allowing or cutting off power to the appliance, turning it on or off.

Feedback or Confirmation (optional):

The system may send a confirmation message back to the smart phone (if using an app) to notify the user
that the command was executed successfully.
Some systems also include an LCD display or LEDs to show the status of devices.

EXPLAINATION of Voice Controlled Home Automation System

Voice Input:
It captures the user's voice command (e.g., "Turn on the light").
It can be done using a voice recognition module or a smart phone app with Bluetooth.

Arduino Microcontroller:
It receives the voice command.
Processes and interprets the command to determine the appropriate action (e.g., which appliance to
control).

Relay Module:
It acts as an electronic switch.
Receives signals from the Arduino to turn devices (like lights, fans) ON or OFF based on the command.
 12

Home Appliances:
Lights, fans, Motors, washing machines, home theatre are the actual appliances that can be controlled by
this relay.

Home automation project Flow:

Voice Input → Arduino → Relay Module → Home Appliance

CONNECTIONS Diagram:

CONNNECTION OF HC-05 MODULE TO ARDIUNO

The standard HC-05 Bluetooth module has six pins. However, we will only
be using 4 in this project. The pins we will be using are the VCC pin, the
GND pin, the TXD pin, and the RXD pin. The VCC pin of the Bluetooth
module connects to the +3.3V of the Arduino. The GND pin of the module
connects to GND of the Arduino. TX pin of the Bluetooth module connects
to digital pin 0 (RXD), and the RXD pin connects to digital pin 1 (TXD).
 14

CONNECTIONS OF LED

The next step in creating our voice controlled LED's is to connect the LED's to the Arduino through the
breadboard. First, connect the short end of the LED to ground. Next, connect the long end of each of the
LED's to a 330 ohm resistor. Finally, connect the resisted current from the LED's to digital pins on the
Arduino. In this project, we will be connecting one LED to digital pin 2, another to digital pin 3, and the last
LED to digital pin 4.

SUPPLYING POWER
For this project, we can supply power to the Arduino
through any +5V power source. You can use a USB port from
your computer to power the Arduino, but in this project I
will be using a 5V portable battery. Before you connect a
power source to your Arduino, make sure that the GND of
the Arduino is connected to ground of the breadboard.
