Estudo técnico teórico e prático da viabilidade de integração de assistentes virtuais com diversos tipos de tecnologias na automação residencial

Abstract

This work focuses on studying the feasibility of automating a residential electrical installation using various low-cost technologies and their interconnection with virtual assistants and smart devices. Home automation, or domotics, aims to offer comfort, security and accessibility, as well as meeting the growing demand for efficient technological solutions. The study seeks to prove that, even with limited financial resources, it is possible to implement intelligent systems that modernize homes and bring practical benefits to everyday life. To validate this possibility, a representative model of a home was designed and built, in which smart devices and virtual assistants were integrated into an existing electrical installation. The mock-up serves as a functional model to simulate common operations of an automated home environment, such as smart light bulbs, sonoff, smart switches and other connected devices. The choice of technologies was based on a detailed cost -benefit and efficiency analysis, considering affordable alternatives available on the market. In addition, the system developed allows remote control via the internet, using mobile devices, in order to demonstrate the flexibility and convenience provided by this technological interconnection. This study shows that home automation can be viable and efficient even in projects with a limited budget.
