SMART LIGHTS
My second smart room project is smart lights. I connected a motor to my light switch so that it would go up or down as the motor rotates. First, I designed a system that I can control the motor using Blynk app via my phone. Then I decided to connect my ESP8266 to Google Assistant and control the switch with my voice command. For Google Assistant part I used IFTTT's webhook future. I will attach both of the videos and a screenshot of my webhook on below.
After doing the first phase, I gave a workshop in the makerspace that I work. I taught people how to control their light switch with Blynk app and it was the first workshop I gave to people I did not know before.
At the end of the page you can find the codes for both of my projects.
The hardware and software I used:
Arduino IDE
C++
ESP8266
Blynk App
IFTTT's Webhook
Controlling my lights via Blynk app
My Webhook to control the Virtual Pin cerates on Blynk App. This webhook allows me to control the motor via Google Assistant. You can watch the video below.
