ALEXA POWERED SMART HARDWARE UNIT USING AWS CLOUD

Amazon Alexa, known as Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon. In this paper we demonstrate Alexa as an home automaton device to control/operate few household devices through voice commands. As a whole Internet of Things (IoT) was highlighted because the device which we control through Alexa are Internet connected by some cloud services called IFTTT, Adafruit and AWS cloud. We can control devices remotely from anywhere through internet connected cloud services Problem Statement and Proposed solution: Power consumption is being the biggest problem now a days due to more and more usage of electrical/electronic devices, also lack of efficient resources making people to move towards energy efficient technologies. Therefore an voice automated system powered by cloud services could not only allow the user to control the devices through internet from anywhere but also in the end reducing power consumption.
