Home Automation Using Voice and Gesture Control

Home automation systems are gaining more attention due to technological advances. These smart devices and sensors help us to collect (or capture) physical experiences and convert them into informational data. The main element of this home automation project is the Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a microprocessor that processes the input based on our requirements and gives the desirable outputs. This project aims to develop a system that helps users to interact with appliances using voice and gesture commands to provide a more interactive and user-friendly home experience. The Raspberry Pi takes voice commands through a microphone or gesture commands from the camera module and interprets them to manage appliances through the relay, which turns the house on and off based on the user’s request. This system could also be a perfect solution for people with disabilities who want access to home devices. For example, voice commands are useful for the visually impaired, and the dumb can use hand gestures to operate the appliances.
