ABOUT THIS PROJECT :

Artificial Intelligence is the future of computing. A artificial intelligence system understands and performs action in a intelligent way. My project aims to build a artificially intelligence home automation system that can monitor the surroundings and notify the user in an interactive way. Current Home Automation systems have remained the same for years , to bring a change to this I have created a new method for a home automation system that can contribute to the development of the 5th generation of computing and also towards Home Automation. Speech Recognition is one of the earliest forms of 5th generation computing , thus I wrote a program in the Arduino IDE with unique algorithms to monitor and interact with the user and provide an intelligent voice assistant service.

Step 1: How Is It Intelligent?

1) Interactive Voice Assistant

2) Collects Data and represents the data for weather forecast in a interactive way.

3) Algorithms makes the program independent and analyses the users speech for appropriate actions.

Step 2: Required Components :

1) Arduino Uno R3
2) 1Sheeld ( For wireless interaction via Bluetooth using your smartphone )

3) Grove Base Shield

4) 4 Pin Jumpers

5) LED

6) Light Sensor ( LDR/Photoresistor )

7) Temperature Sensor 8) Buzzer ( Optional )

* You can buy all the above components online , this is an cheap , fast , easy and interactive home automation system.

Step 3: Hardware Setup

1) Using the 4 pin jumpers , connect the temperature sensor to Analog Pin 0 and Light Sensor to the Analog Pin 1 in the Grove Base Shield.

Step 4: Coding!

The code shown below can be used in the Arduino ide.

To get the 1sheeld libraries working you need to follow the official 1sheeld getting started tutorial here

The code has been uploaded to my Github page :

Step 5: The Future!

In the future I envision my project to work alongside the artificial intelligent machines like prosthetic limbs & robots.
I also wish to improve the current implemented algorithm and make a safe and interactive artificial intelligent home automation system.

This project can evolve into a safe and interactive Artificial Intelligence Home Automation System!
