Keywords:
Bluetooth module, Electrical appliances, Home automation, Microcontroller, User interface deviceAbstract
The voice-controlled wireless home automation system, which operates over the Internet, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, provides a seamless, user-friendly solution for managing home appliances and is specifically designed for elderly and disabled persons. The primary goal of this research is to enhance convenience and autonomy for individuals with limited mobility or technological awareness, enabling them to easily manage and operate appliances and devices in their homes. The system is designed to be lightweight, movable, and simple to install, arrange, and retain, making it functional for any users without complexity. It has features like scheduling, real-time feedback via the mobile app interface, and remote control for electrical devices. Wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or the internet facilitate communication between the devices and the mobile application, enabling operational flexibility. In addition to enhancing the quality of life for the elderly and disabled persons, this home automation solution encourages convenience and energy efficiency in daily life. The system’s primary communication method is voice control, which enables users to confidently and easily control lights, fans, security systems, and other household appliances.
