Controlling a House from a Smartphone: Voice-Controlled Home Automation

Subscriber Access

It is already happening: the Internet of Things allows many devices to be digitally integrated into automated systems to be managed directly from our smartphones. If a user speaks to their phone and says, for example, the word "cleaning," home automation could raise the blinds, turn on the lights, and activate a robot vacuum. Amazon, with Alexa, and Google, with Google Home, are some of the virtual assistants that enable this integration; users simply download the application, link the devices, and give the command to their phone, which then activates the functions required to complete a specific task or create a scene.

How precise is the voice command system? As with the most well-known virtual assistants, such as Siri or Google Assistant, the system responds to the user who has registered their voice on the mobile device, and the verbal command must be clear and avoid ambiguity. However, it is possible to create preset scenes that are activated with a single word, simplifying the process.
