Smart Lights: About

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

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.
