Abstract

A software for controlling automation systems by using voice command. A user may speak a command into a microphone that is operatively connected to a computer. The software loaded on the computer may translate the voice command to computer readable commands. The computer may then schedule a specified day and time to implement the commands. During the specified time and day, the computer may control the automation system based on the specified command.

Claims

1. A system for voice commanding automation systems, comprising:

a computer; and

a program product comprising machine-readable program code for causing, when executed, the computer to perform the following process steps;

receiving a voice command from a microphone that is operatively connected to the computer;

translating the voice command to machine readable text and thereby producing a translated command; and

controlling the activation of at least one remote appliance operatively connected to the computer using the translated command.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the voice command comprises an appliance operation command, a date, and a time.

3. The system of claim 2, further comprising the step of inputting the date and the time in a schedule and implementing the appliance operation command at the date and time scheduled.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the microphone is a microphone on a smart device operatively connected to the computer.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the smart device is a smart telephone.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one appliance is at least one of a lighting system, a temperature control system, a locking system, and an alarm system.
