In this chapter, we will be taking this idea further by adding additional means of communication to Arduino, namely, a smart phone interface (not terminal) and a speech recognition system. After that, we will take another step higher to increase the number of appliances the setup can control, which would make this whole idea much more practical. Finally, we will discuss how this idea can be expanded to cover more area.
