Abstract- With growing technological advancements for smart cities, the demand for intuitive and user-friendly assistance for automating our houses has become necessary for many while providing a sense of comfort for others. Majorly we aim to provide a solution for old age people unable to move around or bedridden to control their home appliances with minimum effort. This paper addresses. This abstract provides an overview of the development and implementation of gesture- based interfaces in home automation systems. We are using a real-time vision system to detect hand gestures of humans using a camera module by Raspberry Pi and using Python programming language integrated with the Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) library and controlling the home appliances based on the decision output given by the raspberry pi using relay module. The primary objective of this hand gesture recognition system is to facilitate communication between humans and computerised systems for control purposes.
