    This document describes a voice-controlled home automation system using an Arduino, Bluetooth module, and smartphone app. The system allows the user to control appliances like lights, fans, AC, and TV with voice commands to the phone app, which transmits the commands over Bluetooth to the Arduino. The Arduino then operates relays connected to the appliances based on the voice commands.

    Voice Controlled Home Automation

    The concept of Home Automation is gaining popularity as it helps in reducing human effort
    and errors and thus increasing the efficiency. With the help of Home Automation system, we
    can control different appliances like lights, fans, TV, AC etc. Additionally, a home automation
    system can also provide other features like security, alarms, emergency systems etc. can be
    integrated.

    There are many types of Home Automation Systems like Bluetooth Controlled, Internet
    Controlled, RF Controlled, Remote Controlled (IR Remote) etc. Each type has its own
    advantages and disadvantages. In this project, we have designed a Voice Activated Home
    Automation system, where different appliances are controlled by sending a Voice Command.

    The Voice Activated Home Automation project is implemented using Arduino UNO, Bluetooth
    and a smart phone. Further sections will explain circuit diagram, components required and
    working of the project.

    Components DescriptionAutomation 2

    Bluetooth HC – 05: For wireless communication, we used Bluetooth Technology and the module used
    for this is HC – 05. This module can be interfaced using UART protocol with a wide range of
    programmable baud rates but the default baud rate is 9600 bps. HC – 05 Bluetooth Module can be
    configured as either master or slave, whereas another module HC –06 can work only in slave mode.

    The following image shows the HC – 05 Bluetooth Module used in this project. In this module, there are
    pins for VCC (5V), GND, TX and RX.

    BT Voice Control for Arduino: This app is developed by SimpleLabsIN for voice based Arduino
    projects. This Android App will use the phone’s voice recognition feature and will convert the
    voice commands to text and transfer the string via Bluetooth.
    The app can be downloaded from here BT Voice Control for Arduino
    If you are familiar with any other similar app, you can always use that.
    Relay Board (4 – Channel): A Relay is used to connect a small current transistor circuit with a
    large current AC circuit. In this project, we have used a pre-built relay board with 4 – channels.
    NOTE: Be cautious when using Relay board with AC Mains Supply.
    Circuit Design

    We will now see the design of the Voice Activated Home Automation circuit. First, we will
    connect the Bluetooth Module to the Arduino. Since Bluetooth uses UART protocol, we need
    to use the RX and TX pins of the Arduino. We will be using “SoftwareSerial” library to deÚne our
    own RX and TX pins (Pin 2 is RX and Pin 3 is TX).

    NOTE: We have left out the Bluetooth’s RX and Arduino’s TX connection as it is not used. In
    case you face a problem, connect a voltage divider to convert the Arduino TX’s 5V signal to
    Bluetooth RX’s 3.3V.

    Next, we will connect the relays to the Arduino. Since we used a readymade relay board with 4
    – channels, all we need to do is to connect the inputs of the individual relays to the Arduino.
    For detailed connection like the resistor, transistor, diode and relay, refer the circuit diagram.

    NOTE: We did not connect any load to the relay but you can always connect some small loads
    and check out the functioning. Be extra careful while using AC Mains with relay board.
    All the necessary connections are explained in the circuit diagram.
    Working of the Project

    In this project, a simple Voice Activated Home Automation system is designed. Voice
    commands are used to control different appliances. We will now see the working of the
    project. All the connections are made as per the circuit diagram above.
    After making the necessary connections, we have to switch on the power supply to the circuit.
    Now, we need to pair the Phone’s Bluetooth to the HC – 05 Bluetooth Module. Before that, we
    have to install the App mentioned above in the phone. The home screen of the app looks
    something like this
    Next step is to connect the phone with the Bluetooth module. For this, choose the option
    “Connect Robot” and select the appropriate Bluetooth Device. If the devices aren’t paired
    earlier, we need to pair them now using the Pin of the HC – 05 Bluetooth Module.
    After successful connection, the devices are ready to transmit data. For that, press the press
    microphone icon on the app and start giving voice commands.

    NOTE: Make sure that the voice recognition feature is enabled on the phone (this is usually
    associated with Google app).

    For example, if we press the microphone icon and say “turn on light”, the app will recognize
    the command and the transfers it to the Bluetooth Module. Also, the command gets displayed
    on the screen for our reference.

    When the string “turn on light” is detected by the app, it will send the string as “*turn on light#”.
    So, the actual message received by the Bluetooth Module is in the format of “*Message#”. The
    reason for padding the ‘*’ and ‘#’ at the begging and end of the string is to identify the starting
    and ending of the message.

    We are able to delete the ‘#’ from the string but left out the ‘*’ in order to identify the starting of
    the string. The received message is compared with some predefined strings and if the
    message matches with any of them, then corresponding action like turning on or turning on or turning
    off the load happens.

    We have used the following commands: “turn on AC”, “turn off AC”, “turn on light”, “turn off light”,
    “turn on TV”, “turn off TV”, “turn on fan”, “turn off fan”, “turn on all” and “turn off all”.
