Design of Appliance Control Prototype with Voice Command Using IoT for Physically Disabled People

In today's contemporary society, we have access to advanced systems and technologies designed to fulfill our fun-damental requirements, with the Internet of Things (IoT) being a prominent example. However, it's essential to recognize that individuals with physical challenges or disabilities often require additional support and innovative assistive devices. Among these individuals, those with visual impairments have unique needs, as they often rely on external assistance for various daily activities, including managing household appliances such as lights and fans. To address these challenges, there is a growing need for solutions that empower visually impaired individuals to control essential electrical appliances within their homes autonomously. In this work, a system for mobility-impaired people is designed to manage electrical appliances using an Android Mobile application on a smartphone or tablet with voice control using IoT. The prototype is a low-cost model designed using components like an Ultrasonic sensor, OLED module, and Smartphone for Android app. Personal support with built-in Google platform embedded in ESP8266-based Node MCU development board and integrated Sinric Pro applications excess for distant monitoring capability. This could be implemented in any home automation for the mobility impaired.
