近年来，普通家庭的建设和“智能家居”的改造出现了巨大的增长。这可以归因于物联网、传感器、智能手机、智能家电、云计算和数字助理（如亚马逊Alexa、b谷歌Home、谷歌Assistant、苹果Siri和微软Cortana）等技术。一开始，智能家居的建设是为了提高普通非残疾人的生活质量。令人印象深刻的是，我们已经看到智能家居的居民在舒适的空间（例如床上或沙发上）获得了安全、节能的好处，并且能够控制他们的照明、暖通空调（暖通空调）、门锁和咖啡机。然而，大多数智能家居设备在设计时并没有考虑到残疾人和活动范围有限的人。当然，能够使用智能技术控制家庭设备对身体残疾的人和老年人来说可能是一个巨大的好处。本文介绍了一个系统，该系统使用智能插头、智能摄像头、智能电源板和数字助手（如亚马逊Alexa、谷歌Home、谷歌assistant、苹果Siri或微软Cortana）来捕捉身体残疾人士的语音命令，以一种更自然的方式来控制普通家用电器，以便以最小的努力打开或关闭它们。
The construction and conversion of ordinary homes into “smart homes” has seen a tremendous rise in recent years. This can be ascribed to technologies such as the Internet of Things, sensors, smart phones, smart appliances, cloud computing, and digital assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and Microsoft Cortana. At the outset, smart homes were built to enhance the quality of life for ordinary nondisabled persons. Impressively, we have seen smart home residents reaping the benefits of security, energy saving, and the ability to control their lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), door locks, and coffee makers while they are in their space of comfort, for example in bed or siting on a couch. However, most smart home devices are not designed with people with disabilities and limited range of movement in mind. Of course, being able to control home devices using smart technology could be a tremendous benefit to people with physical disabilities and the older persons. This paper presents a system that uses smart plugs, smart cameras, smart power strips and a digital assistant such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, or Microsoft Cortana to capture voice commands, from a person with physical disabilities, spoken in a much more natural way to control ordinary home electrical appliances in order to turn them on or off, with minimal exertion.
