IoT based Voice Assistant for Home Automation

When the Internet of Things is applied to the home, it transforms a simple home into a smart home that is safer and more automated. The goal of this paper is to create a Voice/Text controlled Home Application that allows users to operate their home appliances from afar. Users can simply send voice commands or text messages to turn appliances ON or OFF based on their needs. When the users are not physically present in the area, they can schedule the status of the equipment. They will also be given information about past schedules and will be able to turn on the appliances for a set length of time. For the functionalities of the application that is integrated with an IoT device, Node-RED Technology is employed (NodeMCU). The Dialog Flow Account is where this developed application is deployed. The NodeMCU is linked to common household appliances. The NodeMCU controls the Home Appliances based on the parameters it receives from the cloud. Because high-performance and low-cost technology are used, the application's implementation costs are very low. This programme is extremely reliable and efficient for the elderly and differently abled who are unable to reach the switch to turn on or off the device.
