Scheduler and voice recognition on home automation control system

Automated home or home automation or smart home can be described as a product to provide ease of doing homework. One of the simplest task is turning on or off light or any other electrical equipment at home remotely and or automatically. There are issues on building a house that could efficiently use electricity in a comfort way. Current development of technology enable production of cheaper and smaller size of computer. Raspberry known as a Single Board Computer (SBC) proposed in this paper to achieve those goal. Current development shows that home automation could be managed by the means of website or smartphone application such android or IOS application which required resident to access computer or smartphone. This paper proposed better seamless communication between automated home and it's resident. To achieve that goal, this paper proposed voice command function to control any electrical device while still keeping web based application to control detailed instruction or configuration. Raspberry equipped with microphone, relay and internet access will deployed a house that will have function of monitoring the state of electronic devices, scheduling, and web remote control. In addition, electrical devices could also be controlled using voice commands to provide its resident a new experience in controlling their house. Cloud-based API, Wolfram Alpha, will be deployed to record voice command sound which in turn convert it into text to be processed by Raspberry Pi. Therefore, for the system to work, it is compulsory to be connected to the Internet.
