Home automation has gained significant attention in recent years due to advancements in embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). Traditional home automation systems rely on voice commands or smartphone applications, but these approaches may not be suitable for all users, such as the elderly or physically challenged individuals. This paper presents a hand gesture-based home automation system that enables users to control home appliances using simple hand movements. The system integrates gesture recognition technology with microcontrollers and wireless communication to create a seamless, user-friendly interface. The proposed system enhances accessibility, reduces energy consumption, and provides an efficient alternative to conventional home automation solutions.
