EXPERIMENT NO 7: COURSE PROJECT

TITLE: SMART LAMP USING BLUETOOTH AND ARDUINO

AIM: To be able to switch the bulb on/off via your smart phone

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, people have smartphones with them all the time. So it makes
sense to use these to control home appliances. Presented here is a smart lamp using a simple
Android app, which you can use to switch on/off. Commands are sent via Bluetooth to Arduino
Nano. So you need not get up to switch on or switch off the lamp while watching doing some
work. The automation system connects with the smartphone through Bluetooth. The smart phone
sends control signals to switch lamp ON or OFF by an android app through Bluetooth
interface. The project is built on Arduino Nano and is used to control LED and bulb connected
through relays. The Arduino board is interfaced to an HC-05 Bluetooth module to pair with the
smart phone. 

Components used:

1. Arduino Nano
2. Bluetooth module(HC-05)
3. Power Supply XL6009E1
4. 6V Relay
5. BC548 transistor
6. 1K ohm resistor
7. 5 mm LED 
8. Bulb
9. Connector

Mobile Command:

1. Any Android phone 

2. Android app (Bluetooth terminal)

WORKING: When the circuit is powered on, the Arduino loads the required libraries and
switches relays to OFF position.. The Arduino waits for the numeric command to be received
from the Bluetooth module. By default, the pins connecting to the relay have a LOW logic
driving the relays to switch the lamp OFF. 
 
If an appliance is in OFF condition and number representing it is passed through the Bluetooth
app, the Arduino switches the logic at the respective pin to HIGH triggering the relay to switch
the appliance ON. The change in the status of the appliance is updated on the LED indicating
supply to the appliance starts glowing due to forward biasing. 
 If an appliance is in ON condition and number representing it is passed through the Bluetooth
app, the Arduino switches the logic at the respective pin to LOW driving the relay to switch the
appliance OFF. The change in the status of the appliance is updated on the LED indicating
supply to the appliance stops glowing due to lack of forward voltage.
The numbers are transferred to the interfaced Bluetooth module from the paired smart phone.
The smart phone must be paired with the Bluetooth module. Either Bluetooth Terminal or BT
Voice app can be used to pass the numeric commands. 

CONCLUSION:
The system consists of mainly three components is a BLUETOOTH module, Arduino
microcontroller and relay circuit. This simplification is needed to fit as much of the functionality
on the limited space offered by a mobile device’s display. This proposed system is low cost,
secure, ubiquitously accessible, auto-configurable, remotely controlled solution. An app named
“Bluetooth Terminal” is used on the smart phone which is capable of sending text strings to a
paired device and which is a very user friendly phone application.
Finally, the proposed system is better from the scalability and flexibility point of view than the
commercially available smart lighting systems.
