Story

A few weeks back we published a tutorial "Home Automation using Raspberry Pi" in rootsaid.com which was well received among hobbyists and college students. Then one of our members came up with an Arduino Home Automation system using NodeMCU.

Here we will be showing you how to build an Home Automation System Using Arduino that can control electrical devices like lights, fans, garage doors etc using our mobile phone from anywhere around the world. All you need is an Arduino Board, some relays and an android phone.

Design your own PCBs for your Project!

I used Altium designer to draw the circuit and design the PCB. It is a powerful tool that can be used to design and create our own PCBs for our project as well as complex and multi-layer PCBs for industrial use.

If you are a DIY Electronic enthusiast, I bet this is gonna be really useful for you guys. I have been using it for the past 3-4 years and let me tell you guys, this is amazing! You can download the Free Trial of Altium PCB Designer from here.
