IoT Enabled Gesture-Controlled Home Automation for Disabled and Elderly

A Smart Home System gives access to the controllable household appliances and may help render the electricity supply in a household, controlling use and along these lines lessening utilization. It has also proven to be an incredible advantage for the elderly and disabled. A form of home automation systems called assistive domotics provides an extensive feature range that can help the ones with particular accessibility concerns in their homes. These technology systems and assisting equipment have emerged as a viable option for the needy, who would rather stay in their homes than move to assisted living facilities. This paper presents a glove-based home automation system which recognizes gestures and hence provides automated device control. Household devices can be controlled with simple gestures made while wearing the glove. A mobile application is also developed for the family members to keep track of the status and usage of devices. Hence, the system provides comfort to the specially-abled and simultaneously, it also keeps the caretakers informed.
