This collection showcases Arduino home automation projects that demonstrate how Arduino can be used to control appliances, lighting, sensors, and smart devices in real-world environments.
The projects cover both basic and advanced automation concepts, including relay control, wireless communication, IoT integration, and sensor-based decision making, with complete source code and wiring details.
Voice Controlled Home Automation Using Arduino is an exciting project that aims to automate home appliances with the power of voice commands. In this project, voice instructions will be recognised, and text-to-speech conversion will be performed using an Android app. The HC-05 module will then be used to transmit the text data via…
If you are new to smart home automation and are looking to build your first project to control your lights and fans with voice commands, then this article is right for you. In this Internet of Things (IoT) project, I'll guide you through creating a smart home control system that can be controlled using both Google Assistant and Alexa, using an ESP32 and Sinric…
In today's fast-paced world, convenience is key. Dealing with the temperature fluctuations in your living space can be quite a hassle. For those who live in regions where the afternoons can be sweltering hot and the nights chillingly cold, constantly adjusting your wall fan can be annoying. However, with a little bit of DIY ingenuity and the help of some electronic…
IoT and home automation have come a long way since they first gained popularity in 2014, thanks to the debut of a game-changing IC called the ESP8266 by espressif systems. Today we know it as the nodeMCU module and in many of our projects, we have used this IC to build many home automation projects where our focus was on building AC Motor Speed Control or Phase…
An infrared proximity sensor, or IR Sensor, is an electronic device that emits infrared light to detect objects and motion in Arduino projects. This interfacing of the IR sensor module with Arduino is perfect for obstacle avoidance robots, motion detection systems, and proximity sensing applications. Whether you're building your first Arduino project or need a reliable…
I have built a model of a Modern Smart Home. These features demonstrate what a Smart Home would be like! A smart home refers to a convenient home setup where all the appliances and devices can be automatically controlled remotely. Devices in such a smart home are interconnected, allowing the user to control functions such as security access to the…
Today we can say the Mobile phone is our friend. Smartphones can do almost everything. So, is it possible to tell your friend (phone) to switch on the fan or any kind of electrical machine? A big ‘Yes’. This project is a little example of that. To make this, the main things we need are Arduino microcontroller boards (Arduino Uno) and a Bluetooth module…
If you are the one interested in working on some kind of smart home project but don’t know where to start and which smart home platform to use, this article might be of help. Previously, we have covered many smart home projects with different platforms and in this article, we are going to discuss about what Tasmota is, how does it work and…
In many cases, ESP32 capacitive touch sensors are used instead of push buttons. The advantage is that we don't have to provide force to press a button, and we can activate a key without touching it using touch sensors. Touch-sensing technology is becoming popular day by day. And within the last decade or so, it has become difficult to imagine the world without touch-…
Recently I got intrigued with all the new Home Automation products in the market and hence I purchased a Google Home Mini and few other smart devices to control lights, fans, AC and what not. While it did work and everything was fun to use, I got a bit troubled with having all these wireless connectivities happening around me. My bedroom alone had 5 smart devices, and…
Smart speakers like Amazon Echo or Google home are getting popular now days and both have capability to integrate custom skill or action to control any appliance using those Smart speaker. We previously built our own Smart speaker using Raspberry Pi and Alexa, and also controlled home appliances using this Raspberry Pi smart speaker.

As a kid I was fascinated by a toy music car which gets triggered when you clap your hands, and then as I grew up I wondered if we can use the same to toggle lights and fans in our home. It would be cool to just turn on my Fans and lights by just clapping hands instead of walking my lazy self to the switch board. But often times it would malfunction as this circuit will…
