Development of an Intelligent Virtual Assistant to Activate the Devices of a Residence by Voice Command

Resumo

Home automation is increasingly present in people's lives and is already a reality in many Brazilian
homes with differentiated solutions aimed at the needs of each user. However, this technology still has a very
high cost, which makes it difficult for most of the Brazilian population to acquire it. Thus, the present work aims
to present the development of a low-cost smart virtual assistant prototype, using the Python programming
language and the open source Arduino platform, which will allow the activation of devices in a home by voice
commands.
