1-ABSRACT:

Home automation is a wide and varied as powerful as modern home appliances.

field that involves devices as small as In today’s world technology is available
temperature, light and motion sensor, and for home automation but these

3
technologies are incompatible with each
other and addresses only communication
and physical media, the main objective of
this work is to facilitate the user to
control appliances by two ways one is
remotely via voice command, second is
using remote control to control the
appliances which is also an override
control.
The main objective of the project is to
control our desired Applications or
devices in a desired position, remotely
through user voice commands by
attaching a speech-recognition module to
the microcontroller unit and using an RF
communication.

2-INTRODUCTION:

There are several objectives involved in this project that should be focused in order to
achieve the design of the project.

 To design a smart home automation system using voice recognition. The idea is to create
smart home systems that use biometric method such as human voice as directive to
activate electrical appliances. Hence, voice will be used as input to the system.

 To provide a friendly user interface for smart home automation system especially for
disabled and elderly. The idea is to design a simple, yet friendly Graphical User Interface
(GUI) to aid users especially disabilities and elderly person to do their daily home routine.
The system should be using a simple understanding language for easy guidance.

 To design an embedded wireless controller system for the project The idea is using the
wireless system to control home appliances wirelessly, which provide easy installment
rather than heavy reconstruction by using wired system.

 Improve the percentage of recognition accuracy to activate the appliances. The idea is to
analyze the training procedure and overcome the inaccuracy to achieve higher percentage.

3-METHODOLOGY:

The proposed system consists of three blocks:

 Transmitter block
 Receiver block
 MCU Block

I. An RF transmitter module is connected to the transmitter unit with the help of an

encoder device. A voice-recognition module are interfaced to the microcontroller for
giving the input. The commands are sent from the voice or push-button switches to
the receiver to control our desired Application or Device
II. An RF receiver is connected to the receiver end with the help of a decoder device.

The future scope of this project can be enhanced using DTMF technology. Using this
technology we can control the robotic vehicle by using cell phone. This technology has an
advantage over long communication range as compared to RF technology.

4.SCOPE OF PROJECT :

In order to achieve the objective of the project, several scopes need to be identified. The scope of
the project includes:

 Meant to control and monitor house appliances using voice, for voice recognition.

 Build friendly user GUI using Visual Basic software for monitoring and to link Speech
Recognition engine by command to hardware for execution.

 The system controlled wirelessly using computer based on wireless protocol.

5-CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Transmitter circuit :

The transistor Q1 serves as the modulator as well as oscillator. Capacitor C2 and inductor L1
forms the necessary tank circuit for making oscillation. The voice to be transmitted is coupled to
the base of Q1 using an electret microphone. The FM signal available at the collector of Q1 is
radiated using the antenna.

The modulator can be one of several types. The simplest to understand is probably to consider
the voltage-controlled oscillator. Oscillators
Applying an audio signal to the varicap diodes in the circuit example given in the Oscillator
discussion will change the frequency of the oscillator in accord with the modulation. This
increases the frequency swing with increased audio loudness, and the rate of swing with
increasing audio frequency - hence providing Frequency Modulation.
Receiver Circuit :

7
The circuit works off a small 4.5 volt battery or two 3.6 volt Lithium button cells.
The fm receiver section has two RF transistors T1 and T2 to detect the Frequency Modulated
signals. Coil L1 and the trimmer capacito form the tuned tank circuit to tune the receiver to the
best FM station with strong signals. The signals are capacitor coupled through C2.

10K preset VR controls the volume to the input of the amplifier. IC1 is the micro power audio
amplifier that works between 4.5 to 12 volts DC. The amplified sound can be heard through the
low impedance head phone or small Mylar speakers.

FM radio coil
Coil is the important part of the FM tuner. It is made up of 18 SWG enameled copper wire. Wind
4 turns on a ball pen to get 0.5 cm inner diameter. Remove the enamel from the tip of the wire
and solder tightly in the PCB. Trimmer and coil should be soldered very closely. Adjust the
spacing of the coil winding if necessary to get the station clearly. Assemble all the receiver
components as close as possible to get better result.

See filters, mixers, frequency changers, am modulation and amplifiers.The f.m. band covers 88-
108 MHz.There are signals from many radio transmitters in this band inducing signal voltages in
the aerial.

 The rf amplifier selects and amplifies the desired station from the many. It is adjustable
so that the selection frequency can be altered. This is called TUNING. In cheaper
receivers the tuning is fixed and the tuning filter is wide enough to pass all signals in the
f.m. band. The selected frequency is applied to the mixer. The output of an oscillator is
also applied to the mixer.

 The mixer and oscillator form a FREQUENCY CHANGER circuit. The output from the
mixer is the intermediate frequency (i.f.)
 The i.f. is a fixed frequency of 10.7 MHz. No matter what the frequency of the selected
radio station is, the i.f. is always 10.7 MHz. The i.f. signal is fed into the i.f. amplifier.
The advantage of the i.f. amplifier is that its frequency and bandwidth are fixed, no
matter what the frequency of the incoming signal is. This makes the design and operation
of the amplifier much simpler.
 The amplified i.f. signal is fed to the demodulator. This circuit recovers the audio signal
and discards the r.f. carrier.
 Some of the audio is fed back to the oscillator as an AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY
CONTROL voltage. 
This ensures that the oscillator frequency is stable in spite of temperature changes.
 The audio signal voltage is increased in amplitude by a voltage amplifier.
 The power level is increased sufficiently to drive the loudspeaker by the power amplifier.
