Voice Activated Home Automation


Voice recognition is no longer in infancy, especially since Siri just launched on the new iPhone 4S (although similar technology is available on Android too. This project shows you how to use it to automate your home without spending big bucks.

The core of this project is a VRBot speech recognition module.  Next, the project creator used some low-cost wireless light switches (you could also use relays).  The VRBot speech recognition module recognizes 32 custom voice commands.  Once a command is recognized, a wireless switch is activated via a radio receiver.  The setup is simple after you spend some time understanding the wireless communication protocol between the different modules.  See the project blog to engineer the whole thing yourself.

Block diagram of FM transmitter and receiver and its explanation FM transmitter Frequency Modulation is the process in which the frequency of the carrier signal is varied by the modulating signal while the amplitude remains constant Using Reactance modulator direct method The FM transmitter has three basic sections. The exciter section contains the carrier oscillator, reactance modulator and the buffer amplifier. The frequency multiplier section, which features several frequency multipliers. The power output section, which includes a low- level power amplifier, the final power amplifier, and the impedance matching network to properly load the power section with the antenna impedance. The essential function of each circuit in the FM transmitter may be described as follows. The Exciter The function of the carrier oscillator is to generate a stable sine wave signal at the rest frequency, when no modulation is applied. It must be able to linearly change frequency when fully modulated, w
