<jats:p>Abstract: The design and implementation of a home automation system using Amazon Alexa, a voice-controlled virtual assistant. With the rapid growth of smart home technology, integrating voice control capabilities has become a popular and convenient way to interact with home automation systems. The proposed system leverages the power of Amazon Alexa to enable users to control and monitor various household appliances through voice commands. The system consists of a cloud-based backend for data storage and processing, a smart home hub for device control, and a mobile application for user interaction. The hardware and software components, including devices, sensors, and communication protocols, are carefully selected and integrated into the system. The integration with Amazon Alexa Skills Kit allows the system to understand and process voice commands effectively. A case study is presented to demonstrate the practical application of the system in a typical home environment. The results showcase the system's efficiency, convenience, and user satisfaction. This project contributes to the growing field of home automation and highlights the potential of voice-controlled virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa in improving the functionality and usability of smart homes.
