Development of an AI-Powered Virtual Personal Assistant for Smart Homes

This Arduino-based home-automated system uses Bluetooth and an Android app with voice commands. The system strives to develop user-friendly and convenient automated appliance control. We used an Arduino ATMEGA328 microcontroller board, a Bluetooth module (HC-06), and an Android app. We wrote the Arduino in C using the IDE to control any connected component. Switching uses relays and trunks. A Google voice assistant incorporated into the Android smartphone may be used to operate the home-automated system’s electrical appliances when the system is linked. The Android software, Bluetooth module, and voice prompt turn household appliances on and off. It can preset appliances to turn off for 12 hours, making the app simple to use on a smartphone. Bluetooth and Android app-based home automation simplifies appliance control. Voice commands from an Android smartphone app control appliances using an Arduino ATMEGA328 microcontroller board. The Bluetooth module (HC-06) links wirelessly to Android handsets, and the Arduino IDE instructs the microcontroller in C to control connected appliances. Relay and trunk switching can power each linked device. Users may provide hands-free orders via the app or voice instructions after connecting with the smartphone. Users may utilize Google Voice Assistant to “turn on the fan” or “switch off the lights.” The system’s timer allows users to turn off appliances after 12 hours to save energy and improve safety.
