Abstract

A desired technology in 21st century for home automation is an intelligent system. An objective of any automated system is to reduce human labor, efforts, time and errors. Commonly Home Automation is a system where various home appliances like air conditioner, TV, Refrigerator, etc are capable to communicate with each other and they can be remotely controlled. Here is presented a paper which discuss a home automation system through virtual personal assistant’s capability of speech recognition and through raspberry pi to automate home devices such as air cooler, lights, fans, TV etc. This system is a combination of various different technologies such as voice recognition, voice analysis and voice processing. A device microphone is used to receive voice requests while the speaker gives voice output.. The system also uses Artificial intelligence techniques which can solve various human queries through web search and can also control the home appliances.
