Home Automation with Personal Assistant

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been achieved in complex contexts, such as in the home automation market. Due to complexity in its working as well as huge internet traffic, the whole process is not long lasting and it becomes cumbersome to maintain the proper functioning of devices. Now-a-days, giant Techno-institutes are massively dependent on IoT based applications to provide better commercial as well as domestic e-products in terms of simplicity and feasibility. In the following project we have discussed a new methodology of Home Automation in which the electronic gadgets used in home environment as well as workplace can be controlled by the device itself. ?With a unique internet access point in the particular environment, the device is connected to the IP gateway so that it can be controlled from anywhere and any place with the help of proper internet connection. The IP address provided will not function for an individual device, but for the entire network to which all the devices are being accessed.?[1] The interconnection of all the devices can be enabled with the help of an open source software. Initially the device will act and remember the commands as given and will act accordingly. After some duration of time, it will automatically start the actions as previously in-scripted in its memory. Home automation not only helps to reduce human efforts but is also energy efficient and time saving. The main objective of home automation is to help handicapped and old aged people that will enable them to control home appliances and alert them in some immediate situations.
