Abstract
Globally, the use of modern technology for home automation alongside its benefits continues to grow. Although several home automation systems have been implemented, there is still a huge need for efficient approach to assist home owners to perform smart home automation that will ensure convenience, good control, safety and savings for them. This paper presents the development of an interactive Internet of Things (IoT) based Speech-Controlled Home Automation system using Google Assistant, which is an interactive home automation, or commonly known as smart house system. The proposed system will enable users to control their home electrical appliances remotely with voice-based speech recognition through a mobile devices using a Google infrastructure known as Google Assistant. Experimental studies are conducted and different results are achieved on the proposed voice controlled home automation system using different scenarios such as noisy versus quiet environments, empty versus fully furnished room, distance and room sizes. The maximum performance of 100 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">%</sup> accuracy rates are achieved in some of the different scenarios.
