IoT based home automation with energy management

Abstract

Automation of home appliances has become the prime utility of embedded systems. This automation method is inclusive of a sensor-based automated system that requires no human/conventional interventions. This paper proposes the usage of voice commands to have control over the entire appliances, which is easy to handle by old age/disabled people. The major aspect of this paper is to introduce a new system for disabled and normal people. This method involves a Raspberry-Pi-3 control board, which has a WiFi module termed Raspberry-Pi-3. For sending the voice instruction to the Raspberry-Pi-3 a mobile application is used. The function of the application is to record the voice and convert the voice note into a command for Raspberry-Pi-3. This process is facilitated by WiFi communication. This system also uses IoT for measuring the power consumed by the active appliance over the current sensor and the Webserver can preview the power consumption.
