Certain diseases or even the advancement of age
can cause problems such as social isolation and a sedentary
lifestyle, and technology can aid in increasing the quality
of life for people with difficulties or disabilities from health
or age-correlated problems. The growth in the use of voice
assistants has enabled the development of new applications
and services based on Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This
work evaluates the methods and technologies available for
integrating IoT devices with Amazon Alexa and presents an
experiment integrating a smart sensor with Alexa that allows
the user to obtain the temperature and humidity of a remote
environment through a voice command. This architecture will
be the basis for the development of future applications of
assistive technologies.
