Abstract | In recent years, voice-controlled home automation has significantly transformed how individuals interact with their living spaces. However, mainstream solutions such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri rely heavily on cloud-based processing, which introduces serious concerns regarding data privacy, latency, and dependence on constant internet connectivity. This project introduces Home Guardian, an offline-capable voice-controlled home assistant designed to operate entirely without internet access. Utilizing a microcontroller-based system architecture combined with local voice recognition through the AI Thinker VC-02 module, Home Guardian allows users to control various smart home devices—such as lights, smart sockets, and door locks—and play offline music via direct voice commands or a mobile application developed using Kodular. The system communicates over a local Wi-Fi network, enabling real-time, secure interaction between the app and the central unit, even in areas with poor or no internet service. Initial testing shows that localized voice processing improves response speed, enhances privacy, and reduces overall system costs. By eliminating the need for cloud servers, this research presents a privacy-focused, cost-efficient, and adaptable alternative to commercial voice assistants, especially suitable for resource-constrained or privacy-sensitive environments. |
