Project Description: My Accessible Home is a plug-and-play smart-home retrofit created for visually impaired and mobility-restricted residents. Using an Arduino micro-controller, MQ-2 gas, IR flame and water-level sensors, and voice-recognition blocks in PictoBlox, the kit listens for simple commands such as “Lights off” or “I’m leaving” and instantly switches off lights, shuts solenoid valves and disconnects mains power through a relay module. If any sensor detects danger, the system speaks an alert and performs the same safety shutdown, preventing fires, flooding or poisoning even when the user cannot see warning cues. The modular design fits existing wiring without expensive renovation, costs less than a household appliance, and can be expanded with Wi-Fi logging or smart plugs. By combining low-cost hardware, accessible software and strong social impact, our project advances UN Sustainable Development Goal 3—Good Health and Well-Being—while giving its users greater independence, energy savings and peace of mind every day.
