Voice Recognition Smart Home Automation Using ZIGBEE and Android

Abstract

As seen in recent year’s home automation is gaining importance due to use of various wireless technologies. Home automation provides security and comfort mainly for old age people and physically handicap humans. This paper combines various technology for home automation such as voice controlled, Android, Bluetooth and ZIGBEE, which makes it more user friendly. The low cost Bluetooth technology follows IEEE 802.15.1 standard protocol which is open standard technology for implementation of short range wireless communication. Android is a Linux based core open source operating system mainly used in portable devices. ZIGBEE is an IEEE 802.15.4 standard device for applications that require low data rate, long battery life and secure networking.
