I. INTRODUCTION
Rapid technological advancements were required in order
to satisfy the increasing demand for an easier and comfortable
lifestyle [1]. Home automation systems are intended to
provide convenience, energy efficiency, security and comfort
[2].
As the demand for more convenience increases,
smartphones have gradually turned into an all-purpose
portable device that can access the Internet and other local
networks [3] . Voice-based digital assistant like Apples Siri
are thriving applications to smart phone that manages to
understand and responds to spoken commands [4].

V. SOFTWARE DESIGN
The software design of the system focuses on how to
translate voice commands to text in order for the main control
system to recognize a command that would enable a home
device.

A. Accuracy
One of the things that the researchers had to calculate was
how accurate the system is. The test involved having 30
volunteers to test the system by saying specific commands for
each appliance. The result, as shown in Figure 8, shows that the
light off command has the lowest accuracy mark as
compared to the other commands. Siri often mistakes light
off to night off which is the cause of the error in the
response of the system. The results shows that two commands
were below 80% while the remaining commands did well and
are above the 80% mark.
