Stand-alone voice controlled smart home system

What problem are you going to solve?

Create a smart home system with autonomous voice control.

What are you going to build to solve this problem? How is it different from existing solutions? Why is it useful?

No one would like to get into a situation when the Internet connection of a smart home disappears, because of which the voice control stops working. Using MATRIX Creator and Snips AI Voice Platforms allow us to solve this problem, working offline. This is the main value of this platform. Given the large number of built-in sensors, we can create an excellent smart room control module. Of course, in each room we will need to install one such module, but this provides additional autonomy and reliability of the entire system.

How does your solution work? What are the main features? Please specify how you will use the MATRIX Creator or MATRIX Voice in your solution.

MATRIX Creator built-in sensors allow us to monitor environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, lighting, etc.) and wireless interfaces to control (for example, via ZigBee interface) with smart lighting switches, air conditioning, appliances, curtains.

Of course, the main feature of this solution is voice control, which will allow us to open/close the blinds, change the temperature in the room, manage all the functions of a smart home. This is facilitated by infrared LEDs, which allow you to control old household appliances.

NFC system can be used for example for a security system with control from smart watches.

To improve integration into the existing infrastructure, it is advisable to use OpenHub, with writing the appropriate drivers and scripts.
