How can I interact with
my house using the platform by which I can

” platform ” isn’t it the right word in your context?
Long version: ”
platform ” is ” The hardware and software architecture that serves as a foundation or base ” or most often ” the computer architecture and equipment using a particular operating system ” or ” A software environment that is used to write applications and run them “. A platform in IT is something that, while it is built, can help create something. Android is a platform, just like all the other OSes. The term is closely correlated to the term “environment”.
In your context terms like ” software ” or ” system ” would be more likely.
