Abstract
Nowadays voice assistants devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, promise users to support the administration of their smart objects just by the usage of their voice, however, the adoption of this kind of interaction does not satisfy all users. This is particularly true for computer literate people, who can write their software components to interact with such devices. A common way users interact with their software is just by receiving notifications and send commands. In this paper we propose HomeSerBot, a notification system software that allows end users (in this case computer literate people) to customize and receive customized notifications from their services. It is composed of a Telegram bot that allows the user to get notifications and interact with the back-end part of the home service and an administration panel to handle the installation and management of the services available on the user’s computer.
