In this technology driven world, the home automation system became easy to people. Especially this automation is very useful for housebound people as well as for crippled persons. Though there exist new technology/ avant-garde with voice control/virtual assistances, many are still facing problems to use them conveniently and effectively. We came up with proposed system of flex sensor-based home automation such that the people who does not understand the new technology can operate or control the appliance very easily. This system's aim to help housebound people or crippled people to operate home appliances very easily with their hands signs even if they were not educated. This system increases quality and efficiency of working devices. In this system we have integrate voice assistance control of Alexa, which makes easier to handle for people. Based on requirement, the designed prototype can be switched into different modes (gesture control and voice control) for controlling home appliances. In this work, the prototype of the proposed system has been designed, tested, and validated with some use cases which are discussed in the results and discussions.
