I. Introduction
Following assignment one I have planned and IoT solution for a specific problem. In this next
section I will show proof of IoT application developed using any combination of hardware,
software, data, platform and services then I will take a video demonstration of my IoT system
and with code snippets. Next I run end user experiments and examines feedback. Then
evaluate my IoT application and detail the problem your IoT application solves, the potential
impact on people, businesses, society. and end users and the problems this application may
face when integrating into the broader IoT ecosystem.

II. Employ an appropriate set of tools to develop your plan into an IoT
application(P5)
1. Problem
As technology develops, smart homes will also appear more. A smart home is a house in
which electrical and electronic equipment is installed that can be controlled or automated
or semi-automatically. Replace humans in performing one or several management and
control operations. This electronic system communicates with the user through an indoor
electronic board, a mobile phone application, a tablet computer or a web interface.

The lighting system is a very important part of every family, it not only provides light for
living but for many families the lighting system is also to decorate the house more
luxuriously. Therefore, the need to install smart lighting systems is increasingly being
interested and used by more and more families.

In this project, I will do a project “Smart lighting system” we will turn on and off lights and
adjust lights through smart phone devices. This is a very convenient project for users, with
high applicability in life, especially in the era of industrialization.

2. Solution
Turning on the lights automatically by Smart phone, not only brings benefits to help us
easily control our living space, but also helps to raise the bar and clearly show our modern
lifestyle.

No need to turn on and off directly at the switch, you can easily control the lighting
system in your home from anywhere via Smartphone.

Easily turn the lights on and off by voice without having to open the Blynk app on the
phone. We use the Google assistant app to execute our temple control commands. If we
want to turn the lights on or off, we just need to command the virtual assistants: “Oke
google! Turn on living room light”

7
 Lighting devices in the lighting timer function bring convenience to homeowners in
lighting areas with frequent and fixed on and off times during the day.

Finally my software offers a solution for households that are using REG LEDs to decorate
their bedroom or photos, ... through the Blynk device we can control the color and turn it
on. turn off directly through the application without having to press the control or reset
the parameters.

5. Tools
a. Blynk App
 Blynk is an open source software designed for IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
The application helps us to use remote hardware control, can display sensor data,
store data, transform data or do many other things.
 Currently, Blynk supports 2 platforms, Android and iOS. You can search on Blynk
on AppStore and GooglePlay.

Figure 3 Logo Blynk

b. IFTTT service
 IFTTT is an intermediary web service that stands between two services to perform
a task when a condition occurs, IFTTT stands for If This Then That. In which, If This
(if this happens) will lead to Then That (then do that), this is considered the
operating principle of the statement. That is, when there is any change on this
application, through IFTTT the other application will also work and change the
same.
 The operation of IFTTT is based on the "condition" and "enforcement" mechanism.
That is, when a certain condition is satisfied, the command will be executed.
 It has popular services such as google assistant, webhok, .... helps in developing iot
applications especially smart home.

12
 Figure 4 Logo IFTTT

c. Google Assistant
 Google assistant can be understood as a complex programmed software. yes, it is
possible to proceed with the execution of various control commands. As well as
carry out the implementation of user requests. Such as conducting information
search, following orders, etc.
 Google Assistant was first introduced at the Google I/O conference in May 2016
exclusively for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Google Home and Android Wear 2.0 series. Then
became popular on most Android phones, and also iOS.

Figure 5 Google Assistant logo

13
 d. Arduino IDE
 Arduino IDE is an open source software mainly used to write and compile code
into Arduino modules or other modules
 It makes compiling code so easy that even an average person with no technical
knowledge can do it.
 It has versions for operating systems such as MAC, Windows, Linux and runs on
Java platform with built-in functions and commands that are important for
debugging, editing and compiling code in the environment. .
 This environment supports both C and C++ languages.

Figure 6 Arduino IDE logo

6. How do it works
a. Blynk app
 The user will first launch his project by pressing the button and every time we
press a Button in the Blynk app or settings, the message propagates to the space
of the Blynk Cloud. Blynk Server will be responsible for all communication between
the smartphone and the hardware, where it finds its way to the hardware of our
project and it works in the opposite direction the same.
 For example, when we turn on a light, the data will immediately be sent to the
blynk server via the internet and the server will go through the home router and
transmit to the esp8266 chip. The chip will then change the light state.

14
 Figure 7 Blynk app work

b. Google assistant
Instead of the phone working directly with the blynk server, when we use the google
virtual assistant, we will control it through the webhooks service of the ifttt web
service. When we execute the command on the google assistant application it will
check if the command is correct as on the applets or not, then through the webhooks
service it will connect to the blynk server and the blynk server will send data to the
chip. esp8266 through my home wifi model and it will change the light status.

For example, we execute the command "turn on living room" immediately it will send
to the ifttt service and through webhooks it will send data to the blynk server and the
blynk server sends to the esp8266 chip and it changes the state. lights and lights on.

III. Run end user experiments and examines feedback(P6)

To get user feedback through my IOT product usage. I have done survey questions via google
form service and interview.

1. Servey
a. Server Question
I have designed four questions to send to users:

This is my servey link :

https://forms.gle/oV4cKq3Mu6SvtZwi9

Figure 43 Two questions of the servey

33
 Figure 44 The last two sentences of the survey

b. The result

Figure 45 The result question 1

In the first survey question I surveyed thirty people and showed very positive results
about the new product. Looking at the diagram above, we can see that up to eighty-
seven percent of users are very satisfied and give convenient reviews with their
families. Of which, only about two percent are not positive about the product. In
general, the product has met the needs of users very well and is more convenient than
the old light systems.

34
 Figure 46 The result question 2

In the second question, we can see that the most used features are turning on and off
the lights via the blynk app and voice control. As for the light on and off function, the
rate is also very high, and the last feature is not unexpected, the rate of use is low
because the RGB lighting system is still not widely used by families.

35
 Figure 47 The result question 3

Through the results of the third question, we can see that our product is generally
persuasive to the majority of customers and the percentage of questions when
returning to use the company's product is overwhelmingly supportive. almost eighty
percent. Thereby we can see that our product is very useful and they want us to
provide many smart home solutions.

36
 Figure 48 The result question 4

Through the last question in the user survey, we can see the opinions of users who
want more about our product, most of them have comments. Comments such as the
desire to turn on or off the light with a button or some Vietnamese people wishing to
have more interface and control the lights can be in Vietnamese and there are
countless other suggestions. We can see that our products have mostly met the needs
of users.

2. Interview
Here I invite two people to participate in the interview. The first is an American friend
named Lee Nguyen and a Vietnamese friend, Do Van Thai:

 Below are the questions and answers I have recorded:

Questions Answers
How do you feel about my After using your product for a while, I found it
product? quite suitable in terms of price as well as quite
new functions. I don't have to get up and go to
the switch to turn the light on or off. Instead I
just need to hold my smartphone in front of me
to be able to control the light bulb.
Another feature I like is the function of setting
the time to turn the lights on and off. When
using that feature I can turn off the lights at the
time I want.
Besides, the voice control feature also helps me
a lot when I can't use my hands to turn it on or
off at times. I just need to execute the
command and the light immediately goes into
action.
Finally the RGB LED control I use them to
decorate my room and very easy to use color
adjustment.
What features of my I am going to say this right away after using the
products do you like the feature that I care about and use the most,
most? which is the voice control feature. A very nice
feature is that I just need to stand near the
phone without having to open any applications.
I just need to say "Ok google turn on living
room" and the light immediately turns on and
everyone in the house is very excited.
Would you like to I see your product has all the necessary features
comment on our already. I just suggest you add a new feature
products? I'd love to hear that is the feature to turn on and off all lights.
from you, sir. Because then I only need to press once to
automatically turn off the lights in the house.
That's my suggestion for you.

OK
The first is the feature of turning the
lights on and off via the blynk app, I find
this to be a very nice feature. I don't need
to turn on the light switch, just chin the
phone anywhere in the house. Besides,
my house can observe which lights are on
or off.
Next is toggling the time through the time
setting section. It helps me to set the time
to turn the lights on and off, and now I
just need to go to bed and go to sleep
without turning off the lights or coming
home, the living room lights have been lit.
The feature of turning on and off the
lights with the google assistant app is very
convenient because we only need a
phone next to us to be able to turn on
and off the lights via voice.
The last feature is the RGB LED control I
use a lot because it makes the house and
bedroom more beautiful.
There are two features that I would like to
add to you. I hope it will be updated soon.
The first is to turn on all the lights in the
house with just one click.
Secondly, I have not seen the Vietnamese
voice control service. If possible I would
very much like to .

3. Product improvement
After I went to get customer feedback through surveys and interviews I improved my
product:

After improving my product I also received some more feedback from users:

Figure 53 Feedback to user 2 by mail

Through my product improvement feedback section, users have experienced and given
me positive feedback about the product. I have received a number of feedback emails and
I hope users will contribute more to improve the product .

IV. Evaluate end user feedback from your IoT application(P7)
After going through a survey of about thirty users and also some improvement through that
feedback. I have brought the product to market and have countless users using it and giving
feedback.

Through the user reviews, we can see that the smart light system product is a useful product
in life and helps us to manage our home light system well. When we are at home, we will not
have to spend time turning on dozens of switches for the ceiling light system anymore, just a
light touch on the phone all lights will be turned on / off in a split second. We can adjust or
set the lights before we go home, or when we open the door, the lights will turn on
automatically. The above you can easily set up and do right on your phone.

The number two feature is the voice control of the lights, which is a feature that all customers
use have positive reviews and show a lot of love. The system helps people just execute a
command to instantly control the lights to turn on or off.

Perhaps the part that users find the most interesting through the review is the timer to turn
the lights on and off. This is an outstanding advantage of the smart home system. With this
feature, users can fix the time to turn on or off the lights for a room or their whole house. For
example, in a child's bedroom, the timer to turn off the lights is at 10pm to train children to
go to bed on time and at 6pm the balcony lights are turned on until 9pm simultaneously.

Finally, the RGB LED system is used as an indispensable decoration. With a multi-color system,
they can adjust the brightness of the chandelier to suit each situation. Even so, this is the
feature where the word feedback is used the least.

Through interviews and surveys from users as well as my own experience, I have learned a
few pros and cons from which I can improve the product better:

Advantages:

 The system helps users to turn on and off the lights through the control buttons via
the blynk app on the phone without going to the light switches in the house.
 The second is that the user does not need to touch the phone, just a command such as
"Turn on living room" is immediately turned off.
 Next, through the smart light system, users can know whether the status of the lights
is off or on.
 The feature of turning on and off the lights through the timer feature is also very
useful to us. We can easily set the time to turn the lights on and off as we want.

43
  Finally, with the RGB lighting system, we can customize the color of the lights through
the phone with many colors. The system makes the house more beautiful and
luxurious in the eyes of the guests.

The disadvantages:

 Our system also has some disadvantages such as

 When the user loses the wifi network connection, it will not be able to use it because
the smart light system requires a network connection.
 Besides, the voice control system has some limitations such as not being able to
customize the RGB LEDs via voice and setting the light time.

Through user reviews after using the product, I have also obtained a few features that need
to be improved and will soon be released for the best user experience.

Here I am going to evaluate my smart light system impact for social and use:

 Energy saving :

When we use it can save a lot of energy usage, especially when you use LED with
dimmer. Sometimes we don't need the full brightness from a light bulb, and dimming
can cut energy usage to reduce households' electricity bills.

 Turn lights on or off remotely.

In the past, people put light switches near their beds so they wouldn't have to get up
and turn off the lights from the wall switch before going to bed. But these days, you
can only use your smartphone or tablet, which tends to be right there with you
wherever you go. You just need to use the app to turn the lights on or off.

In some cases, you can even use voice activation for your bedroom lights. We can also
use this application to turn off the lights in the child's bedroom when it's time to go to
bed.

 Save money with smart lights

Most people have left home, gone to work, and returned home to discover that they
left the lights on in the bedroom and got ready in a hurry or perhaps left the lights on
in the bathroom. With the intelligent lighting system, if we are a bit concerned that
the light has not been turned off, we can go to the application, find the light in
question and turn it off with a simple touch on the screen. That means we can save

44
 quite a bit of money when we need to turn them on as well as turn them off from
anywhere there is Internet. access.

 Maximize security by turning on lights while away

It is natural that when we are away, we often worry about someone approaching or
breaking into the house while you are on vacation. Thieves can usually tell when a
home is empty for any length of time, but we can do our best to deter them by
programming your smart light system to come on when it was dark for several hours
in the evening, giving the impression that someone was at home even when
thousands of miles away. If my system could be better combined with smart security
systems such as video doorbells and home CCTV cameras could be synchronized with
the phone.

 Color changing smart light bulb

The smart bulb uses LEDs that can be adjusted using an app on our phone or tablet so
that it can change color whenever we want. If we are having a theme party, it is
possible to adjust the color of individual lights or change the feel of the whole room if
you want it to make the household feel more chalky. encourage everyone.

As for the business of the products we create, there are now a very large number of companies in
the market and many companies are developing and have created a reputation. Many product
brands offer a variety of options in a product portfolio to capture consumer surplus. Consumers
are the ultimate source of demand for product variety, as each individual has preferences for
different product variations. Our company strives to meet these needs by offering a wide range
of smart lighting products especially in the smart home field. Given the positive results of
customer feedback, we can be confident that the product will be widely known and can increase
sales. The company strives to meet the rapidly changing needs and desires of consumers with
products so that users can have the best experience.

In short, through the feedback from users using my product, I can see the positive effects of the
users on the product and the impact on the user society and the field of business.

45
V. Conclusion
In short, I have presented all the required parts of the given topic. I Used an appropriate set
of tools to develop my plan into an IoT application. I then ran end-user tests and tested
responses through survey and interview questions. Finally I evaluate end user feedback from
my IoT application.
