IoT BASED HOME AUTOMATION USING RASPBERRY PI

Abstract

This paper presents the design of the low cost home automation system using the IoT(Internet of Things) technology along with the feature of speech recognition. The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. In this project IoT technology is used to control the home appliances wirelessly over the internet. The computing module used is a Raspberry pi development board. The project also aims to provide a speech control interface to the users to control the appliances. Speech recognition is provided using an online Speech-To-Text platform called wit. The home automation system listens for the user's speech and whenever a defined phrase is identified it triggers corresponding action to switch appliances on or off. With speech recognition physically challenged people can control appliances with much more ease
