ALEXA CONTROLLED HOME AUTOMATION

Introduction:
Alexa is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon, first used in
the Amazon Echo and the Amazon Echo Dot smart speakers
developed by Amazon Lab126. It is capable of voice interaction,
music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming
podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic,
and other real-time information, such as news. Alexa can also
control several smart devices using itself as a home automation
system. Users can extend the Alexa capabilities by installing
"skills" (additional functionality developed by third-party
vendors, in other settings more commonly called apps).

Apparatus:
1) Alexa
2) Reverb
3) Node MCU
4) Cable
5) Jumpers
6) Relay
7) Bulb holder
8) Bulb
9) 230v AC supply

Circuit Diagram:

Procedure:
1) Install amazon Alexa app from the google play store.
2) Then create an account in Sinric as we are using
ESP8266. Sinric is an IOT site that can connect all kind of
boards with Alexa. In that we have to add a smart home
device which is lights.
3) Then download the necessary libraries from net like
sinric Esp8266, websocketClient.h, Aurdinojson.h.
4) Then add those libraries in Arduino and write the
code. In that code enter your WiFi information, apikey
for sinric account and apikey for device id. Run the code.
5) Now dump the code into the Node MCU.
6) Discover the devices in Amazon Alexa app.
7) Check the output in serial monitor. Then, connect the
output pin of Node MCU to relay and that to AC bulb.
8) Now open Alexa app in your mobile and say to Alexa
to turn on or off your light.

Applications:
 Control lights, garage doors, even smart locks and
many more home appliances.
