Design and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based Home Automation

Abstract

This paper presents the idea of controlling switches of different home appliances with the self-developed android application and a micro-controller based Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Primary use of this model is to make places hands-free with the help of contact-less control of all wired electrical devices. In this, the commands are given through the android application that have been designed using “Java” in Android Studio, the input format is taken as voice commands/buttons. The voice command is then translated into string which is sent to the HC-05 Bluetooth module for the decision-making process. The control structure for the appliance selection is present in the PIC microcontroller 16F887, which accepts signal through HC-05 which is connected with the Universal Synchronized Asynchronized Receiver Transmitter (USART), as the string sent by the Application matches with the string coded with “Embedded C” in PIC. It will give signal to the 8-channel relay which switches the relay ON/OFF, which is in turn connected with the appliances. For connecting the application with the smartphone, Bluetooth technology is used. Microcontroller used in this paper acts as a final controller and gives commands to the relay which finally controls the appliances. Use of this technology can be incorporated in various places where a lot of switching is required and time must be saved, also we can use this in homes, and all major public places keeping in mind with the current circumstances of COVID-19, wherein it has become necessary to make the daily things in life contactless.
