Description
Summary:The threat of COVID-19 is increasing by the day, while those who are infected must quarantine immediately. Since the disease is lethal and spreads by direct or indirect human contact, it is critical to disinfect all contact surfaces on a regular basis. Since continual direct exposure to chemicals promotes antibiotic resistance, it is less likely to be considered as a long-term solution. As COVID-19 had such a negative impact on people’s health, even regular commuting inside the house became a difficult and time-consuming activity for a variety of reasons, including the fact that the person is isolated alone and has a strong inclination to leave things neglected. This paper consists of a quarantine home automation system that allows the user to remotely turn on and off the appliances in the room as well as monitor the temperature in the rooms. The proposed system has incorporated an intruder alarm system, which sends notifications to the user’s mobile phone whenever some unexpected movement is detected near the entrance. The entire system is voice-enabled, which means that instead of completing the work manually, the user may give Alexa the directions. The quarantine home automation system also includes a robot that can be operated by the user virtually using the joystick present in the common user interface.
