Smart lighting is broadly understood to cover the automation of lamp responses or room lighting, such as on/off control or changing the colour and also dimming of the light to enhance user comfort and to save energy.
The essentially digital nature of LED lighting has greatly enhanced controllability, which can be used to achieve a wide variety of lighting effects to occupancy-based behaviour. Lighting has become smart and responsive, but when teamed with the emerging internet of things (IoT) it could support greater functionality if additional sensors were implemented.
Working of the Smart Lighting Project:
The code to be typed on the Bolt Cloud:
Using the digitalWrite() JavaScript function of the Bolt module, the output to LED can be given as 'HIGH' or 'LOW' to consequently turn on or off the LED. This can be done for the four LED's by connecting their input pins to the select lines 1, 2, 3 and 4. Only one input pin can be used for both the ON and OFF functionalities.
With just one click on the particular button on the Bolt Mobile app the lighting can be changed, by switching the coloured lights On or Off. As this Project has 4 lighting modes, there are 8 buttons to switch the coloured lights On and Off. Multiple lights can be switch On at the same time.
Circuit diagram of the smart lighting system:
The positive pin or the Input pin is connected to a resistor or directly to the Bolt Wi-Fi module, the Negative pin or the Output pin is connected to the Bread Board, which is connected to the GND pin on the Bolt Wi-Fi module.
