Home Automation System Using Smartphone and Bluetooth Part 2 With Manual Control

INTRODUCTION

Hello, friends welcome back to “DIYPROJECTSLAB”, In a previous article, we see how we can control the home appliances with the help of Smartphone & Bluetooth but there is no manual control for the system, so In this tutorial, we are going to make a Smartphone control as well as manual controlled home automation system with Complete details.

For manual control, I used a two-way switch which helps to manually control the appliances.

See the previous article on Home Automation.

INTRODUCTION TO IOT PLATFORM BLYNK

What is Blynk?

Blynk is a solution for building IoT applications available for  Android and iOS. Based on well-known platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry pi, ESP8266, ESP32, Intel Galileo, Particle,  Serial devices, and  Wifi among others, in a few minutes, you can create a high-quality dashboard with a large number of available widgets, Control, Display, Notification, and Video streaming

For making Circuit & PCB I used Easy EDA Software, I Provide the PCB layout just print and use the toner transfer method to make PCB.

Download PCB Layout

LET’S MAKE PCB

I make this PCB board to avoid complicated circuitry, so let’s make it. Follow the following steps to make PCB.

Also, Take reference from the following video, it helps you to understand how to make PCB using the toner transfer method.

Follow the following process for Making PCB Using Tonner Transfer Technic.

• 1.Take a Single Sided Copper Clad PCB Board
• 2.Cut the PCB as per PCB Layout
• 3.Remove the dirt & rust from the PCB by using wire scrub or sandpaper
• 4.Place layout print on PCB & Heat the PCB with the help of Iron for 5-10 Min
• 5.Take water in the container & deep the PCB into the water for 5 min
• 6.Slowly remove the paper from the PCB
• 7.Now take 2-3 spoon of ferrite chloride powder in a container with water
• 8.Deep PCB into the solution for 5-10 min for an etching process
• 9.After etching completed clean the excessive tonner from the PCB
• 10.Drill The PCB with the help of a PCB drill machine
• 11.Now place app components on PCB & Solder It
• 12.In this way the PCB board is completed.

2. 2.Create an Account On Blynk.
3. 3.Create New Project.
4. 4.You will get Token on your E-Mail.
5. 5.Give Name to Project.
6. 6.Select Device & Connection Type & click on Create Button.
7. 7.Select Bluetooth, then add 8 buttons.
8. 8.Give a name to Buttons.
9. 9.Set the Pins.
10. 10.The app setup is completed

ARDUINO CODE

1. 1.Add Blynk library in your Arduino IDE
2. 2.Sketch-Include Library-Manage libraries-Type Blynk-Install
3. 3.Copy Following code & Upload to Arduino Nano (Remove Bluetooth Module while uploading code)

  pinMode (7, OUTPUT);
  pinMode (6, OUTPUT);
  pinMode (5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode (12, LOW); // Set All Pins Low Because At The Starting All Relays get ON, Results In All load 
  pinMode (11, LOW); // Connected Across Relay Module Get Turn On 
  pinMode (10, LOW);
  pinMode (9, LOW);
  pinMode (8, LOW);
  pinMode (7, LOW);
  pinMode (6, LOW);
  pinMode (5, LOW);
  DebugSerial.println("Waiting for connections...");
  // Blynk will work through Serial
  // 9600 is for HC-06. For HC-05 default speed is 38400
  // Do not read or write this serial manually in your sketch
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
}
void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}
