Bluetooth Home Automation
In this instructable i'm going to explain each and every step so that everyone including beginners can also feel comfortable.
:)
The past decade has seen significant advancement in the field of consumer electronics.
Various “intelligent” appliances such as cellular phone, air conditioners, home security devices, home theaters, etc., are set to realize the concept of a smart home. where all these appliances can be interconnected and monitored using a single controller. Home automation involves introducing a degree of computerized or automatic control to certain electrical and electronic systems in a building. These include lighting, temperature control, etc.
This instructable demonstrates a simple home automation system which contains a remote mobile host controller(android device) and several client modules (home appliances). The client modules communicate with the host controller through a wireless device such as a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, in this case, an android based Smart phone.
THINGS REQUIRED
2) Hc-06 Bluetooth module
3) USB to serial converter for arduino pro mini (if you have an old adruino uno you don't need this) I had used my old arduino.
4) Relay module of your choice OR if you want to make them on our own you can ( I recommend buying a module instead of making it because we work with high current of 250V )
5) Bread board(optional)
6) Jumper wires ( male to female & female to female based on your requirement )
7) Printer USB cable to program arduino
8) LED's of any color
9) Arduino IDE installed in your computer
10) Electrical wire , tape ,sockets
11) 5V power supply
13) ANDROID BASED SMART PHONE
CODE
download the above code file and open wit arduino ide and upload it
The above code is to control 2 relays only (if u want u can increase them)
Connecting Hc 06 Bluetooth Module to Arduino
Setting up the HC-06 is as easy as ABC. All you need to know is the pin configuration. The HC-06 has 6 pins: wakeup, VCC, GND, TXD, RXD and State. Right now I will only deal with 4 pins, which are VCC, GND, TXD and RXD.
Here is how you should connect the Bluetooth module to your Arduino.
HC-06>>>Arduino
VCC>>>>3.3v
GND>>>>GND
TXD>>>>RXD
RXD>>>>TXD
The HC-06 acts as a serial port through which you can send and receive data. So using a serial terminal or a Bluetooth customized application on your computer or phone, you can control and monitor your project. I used Teraterm as the serial terminal. Before, uploading the code to the Arduino, disconnect the HC-06 module, since it shares the tx/rx pins and will interfere with the upload. Connect it back once the code has been uploaded successfully.
CONNECTING RELAY
As You can see
the relay module has
VCC=5V
GND
IN1(DIGITAL INPUT 1)
IN2(DIGITAL INPUT 2)
Connect the vcc ti the vcc of arduino and gnd to gnd
CONNECT IN1 TO ARDUINO DIGITAL PIN4
CONNECT IN2 TO ARDUINO DIGITAL PIN5
WIRING THE RELAY
BE CARE FULL WE ARE NOW DEALING WITH HIGH CURRENT 230V AC
WIRING THE RELAY IS AS ADDING THE SWITCH TO BULB
AS YOU CAN SEE THE RELAY HAS 3 PORTS
1.NC(NORMALLY CONNECTED)
2.COM(COMMON)
3.NO(NORMALLY CLOSED)
AS SHOWN
DONT TOUCH THE RELAY WHEN THE AC POWER SUPPLY IS SWITCHED ON
THE APP
this app works great you you can change the device name and timer setting also
opn the app
connect the bluetooth by pairing it generally the pin is 1234
and connect it
Testing
once you are finished connecting all the connections properly you are done
BUT BE CAREFULL
[Play Video]
TESTING AND WORKING VIDEO
FABRICATION
i had attached the realys to sockets as shown
.And you are done with this project
for any queries please post a comment
hope you guys like it
THANK YOU :)
