Abstract:In this paper, a voice controlled wireless smart home system has been presented for elderly
and disabled and disabled people. The proposed system has two main components namely (a) Voice
recognition system and (b) wireless system. On the other hand ZigBee wireless module has been used to
implement the wireless system. The main goal of this system is to control home appliances using voice
commands. The proposed system can recognize the voice commands, convert them into required data
format and send the data through the wireless transmitter. Based on the received data at the wireless
receiver associated with the appliances, desired switching operations are performed. The proposed
system is a low cost and low power system because ZigBee is used here.

INTRODUCTION
Home automation system has been around for more than a decade. The main concept is to form a
network connecting the electrical and electronic appliances in a house. This is a growing technology,
which has changed the way people live. According to the data published by the market research and
market intelligence firm ABI about 4 million home automation systems were sold globally in 2013. It is
also estimated by the same organization that 90 million homes worldwide will employ home automation
systems by the end of 2017. There have been several commercial and research versions of smart home
system introduced and built. But, none of the versions has broken through the mainstream yet other than
security systems. Smart home systems have captured many disparate technologies so far and products
have been in the market for more than one decade. Many companies have entered in this field including
Google. Despite over a decade of disparate activity in the industry no company has yet succeeded to
launch home automation as a popular technology.

The voice Recognition kit (V3 Kit) is used to store the manual voice recorded using Microphone.
Interfacing of LCD & DC motor is acquired onto the Microcontroller.
Formation of Transmitter Section & Receiver section with the concerned equipment and defined
attachments.
Attachment of Household Components like LED Bulb, CPU Fans, etc. on the receiver side.
The performance of the system is compared with the existing system & errors are corrected if any.
Depending on the test results, corrective measures will be taken if required to make the Automation
System more precise with the design specifications.
IV.
RESULTS
The proposed system is combined with the software and hardware manipulations resulting into two
sections- Transmitter Section and Receiver Section which gives the final model for the Home
Automation System. Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 shows the Transmitter section and the receiver section of
the final model.

CONCLUSION
This project discussed the development of voice recognition home automation system which can be used
to replace the old and conventional way to switch on the power of an electrical device. This system
consists of a voice recognition kit V3, a microcontroller circuit, ZigBee, relays.
The voice recognition home automation system has been successfully developed and through this
project we have gained much experience in the field of voice kit and programming of the
microcontroller. This project is a simple as compared to any of those which already exist in the industry
but we hope that this project can be made better that can be applied to larger scale of controlling.
Beside this project can be helpful in smart home necessity. Besides achieving the main objective, it can
reduce any occurrence of getting shock due to failure of the switch and it offers a more safety way to
turn on the switch. Moreover if this system is fully equipped in a house it can reduce the addition of wall
switch and what left is only the plug point to user to plug in the devices only.

FUTURE SCOPE
The technology can be developed further for controlling appliances like TV, Refrigerator, Water
motor etc.
In future many more features can be added in it like home appliances can be controlled by using
voice by implementing more secure and efficient techniques.
The system can recognize the voice commands independent of vocabulary size, noise, and speaker
characteristics.
The design may consist of PC. User can interact with the PC and send control signal to the ADK
which in turn will control other embedded devices/sensors.
