Abstract

In general the Home Automation Systems HASs are designed for non-disabled persons, some of which suggested for specific disabled persons, i.e. only for physical, visual, hearing or cognitive persons. This article introduces an IoT home integrated device in two sections: the hardware and software have been developed to simplify the usage of IoT via voice recognition apps for disabled people, using the feedback machine based on Microphone MIC / Mobile. The Raspberry Pi development board is the processing tool utilized, and the project also intends to provide consumers with a voice recognition system for operating machines. An online Speech-To-Text interface called (wit) which is used to understand the expression. The home automation program listens to the user's voice and when a certain word is mentioned, turning the systems on or off contributes to identical behavior. Implementation of this new framework (HAS) has been done in an economical way, easy to install and configure, it is used for different types of people with disabilities via input voice data from a stable and efficient cloud web platform for the user to monitor household appliances via IoT
