Hello friends, welcome to TechStudyCell. Today we will make a simple home automation
project, where we can control multiple home appliances from the smartphone through the
internet. To make this home automation project, we just
need a relay module and a NodeMCU board. We will use the Blynk app to control the relay
module. As you can see, I can easily control 2 AC
lamps from my smartphone. And I can also control these two lamps from
anywhere if I have the internet on the smartphone. During the video, I have shared the circuit
diagram, Arduino sketch and we will see step by step, how to use the Blynk app to control
different home appliances. So I will highly recommend you to watch the
complete video, and after watching this video, you can easily design this circuit within
5 minutes. You also visit our website easyelectronicsproject.com
to download the circuit and other details. I will share the link in the description. So let get started. [music] As I said, first I will design the circuit
on the breadboard and for that, we need a relay module and a NodeMCU board. And the circuit diagram will look like this.. As you can see the circuit is very simple. we have connected the 5V supply across the
Vin and GND pin. And we will control the relay module with
D1 and D2 pin. Now in this IoT project, I have used the Blynk
app to control the relay module. So let me download the Blynk app from Google
Play Store. Now, I have to install the app. Then tap on Open. After that you have to create an account,
for that, you have to enter your email address and set the password. Then you can tap on the Sign-Up. Now after sign up, you will find this screen,
you have to tap on the New project and you have select the board. Here I will use NodeMCU, so I will select
NodeMCU. Then tap on OK. Then you have to give a project name. Now tap on Create. Now, Blynk will send an Auth Token to the
registered email id. Here you can see, I have received this email
from Blynk, and this is the Auth code. Now I will open Arduino IDE and then go to
Tools and select Manage Libraries. Here you have to type Blynk. Now, you have to install this library, I have
already installed it. After installing this library, you have goto
File, then select Examples. Then select Blynk. In the Blynk you have to go to Board WiFi,
then select NodeMCU. We will use this Arduino sketch in the project. Here you can see, you have to type the AUTH
TOKEN sent by the Blynk. SO let me copy it. And I have to paste it here. Then type the SSID (WiFi Name) and the password
for the WiFi. Now, we can upload this code to the NodeMCU
board. For that, you have to go to Tools and select
the NodeMCU board, and the proper PORT. Now we will upload this code to the NodeMCU
board. After uploading the sketch, we have to create
some switch in the Blynk app to control the relay module. So again I have to open the Blynk app. to
create the switch, first, I have to tap on this "+" button. And select the Button. Now again I have to tap on the button. First I will select digital pin 1(D1) to control
the relay-1. Next, as I am using an active low relay module,
so I have to send 1 to turn off the relay and 0 to turn on the relay. Then I have to select Switch. Now our first button is ready. You can also rename the button. Here I will give the name Relay-1. Now I will exit from this button. Here you can see, our button is created. I will resize the button. Now I will create the second button. So again I will tap on the "+" button and
select the Button. Now, again I will click on this button and
select the D2 pin. Here you can see, this the D2 pin of the NodeMCU
to control the relay-2. And as I am using an active low relay module,
so I will send 1 to turn off the relay and 0 to turn on the relay. And I will select Switch. Now I will rename the button with Relay-2. After that, I will resize the button. Now our project is ready. I have given 5 volt supply to the circuit
from a mobile charger. Now to control this relay module, I have to
tap on this play button. Now, if I tap on this button relay-1 turns
on. And if tap on the second button, you can see
relay-2 turns on. Like that, I can easily control the relay
module from the smartphone through the internet. Here I have used a 2-channel relay module
but you also connect 4-channel or 6-channel relay module with the NodeMCU. For that apart from D1 and D2, you also use
D5, D6, D7, D8 pin to control those relay module. Now, we will connect some AC loads across
the NO ad COM terminal of the relay, and the circuit diagram will look like this... Here you can see, I have connected these two
AC lamps with the relay module as per the circuit diagram. and I have provided the 5V
supply to this NodeMCU board. Now, we can control these two AC lamps from
the smartphone through the internet. As you can see, with this Blynk app I can
easily control these AC lamps from the smartphone. So this is a very useful IoT project. you just need an internet connection in your
smartphone and you can control these two lamps from anywhere. Like that, if you connect different home appliances,
then you can control those home appliances from anywhere if you have internet in your
smartphone. And in my upcoming project, I will design
a PCB where you can control multiple relays with this same circuit. So please do subscribe for that upcoming video. And if you find this video helpful please
