Story

STORY

Sanjiv, my lazy younger brother does not like to get up every time from his bed to switch light on and off. But what he does like is to play video games on his mobile phone a lot. So for his eighteenth birthday I decided to surprise him by installing Home Automation system into his room. With help of this system he will be able to operate light of his room with help of google assistant as well as remote.

HARDWARE SETUP

In this system Bolt Iot wifi module is used to operate electrical appliances. Digital output pin of bolt wifi module is connected to in1 pin of relay. The 5v pin and ground pin of bolt wifi module is connected to Vcc pin and ground pin of relay module respectively. Connect NO pin of relay to line wire of power supply, connect neutral wire of supply to your appliance, and connect other pin of your appliance to COM of relay module.
