        abstract = {In today’s world, technology is making everyday tasks easier and smarter, and laboratories are no exception. This project presents an Intelligent Voice-Activated Laboratory Control System built using the ESP32 and Firebase, designed to simplify the way electrical devices in a lab are managed. The system allows users to control seven lights, six fans, and three other devices in a convenient and efficient manner.
What makes this system unique is that it offers three different ways to control the devices. First, users can operate devices using voice commands through the VC02 voice recognition module, making the system easy to use and hands-free. Second, it provides an offline control option using the ESP32’s Access Point mode, ensuring that the system works even without an internet connection. Finally, users can control and monitor devices remotely through a web application connected to Firebase, giving them access from anywhere.
The system uses two 8-channel relay modules to handle multiple devices at the same time. The web application also includes useful features like scheduling and timers, allowing devices to turn on or off automatically, which helps save energy and time.
Overall, this project creates a smart and reliable laboratory environment by combining convenience, flexibility, and efficiency. It reduces manual effort, improves control, and represents a practical step toward modern, automated laboratories.},
