Description:-

In this IoT projects, I have shown you how to make the smart home with Google Assistant & Alexa using NodeMCU ESP8266 to control relays with voice commands and manual switches. I have used all the free tools for this IoT-based home automation system. This project is very useful to unabled, because unabelled people can't go to turn on the lights, fan and turn off lights, fans.So, they can easily turn on and off the there home appliances using GOOGLE ASSISTANT AND AMAZON ALEXA.

HARDWARE SELECTION:- 1.ESP8266:-NodeMCU ESP8266 is an open-source Lua based firmware and development board specially targeted for IoT based applications. It includes firmware that runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems and hardware which is based on the ESP-12 module, and like this, it can also be programmed using Arduino IDE and can act as both WiFi Hotspot or can connect to one. It has one Analog Input Pin, 16 Digital I/O pins along with the capability to connect with serial communication protocols like SPI, UART, and I2C. NodeMCU has 128 KB RAM and 4MB of Flash memory to store data and programs. Its high processing power with in-built Wi-Fi / Bluetooth and Deep Sleep Operating features make it ideal for IoT projects. Its applications include prototyping for IoT devices, low powered battery-operated applications, and projects requiring I/O interface with Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities. 2.RELAY MODULE:-Relays are important part of any electrical and electronic circuits. We use relays in control applications, switching applications, circuit protection applications, and load transfer applications. Relays are also used to provide electrical isolation between two circuits. This 4-channel Relay module comes with Optocoupler protection is an active low relay module which means that the relay will conduct when the input signal falls below 2V and if it is above 2V then the relay is turned off you can also make it an active module by changing the jumper position on the power module. It can be controlled directly with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers easily. You can use it to control both DC and AC lines and it also has LED indicators to indicate the state of operation of the module. It also has high Impedance input pin so not to draw any more current than required from the controller. SOFTWARE SELECTION:- 1.ARDUINO IDE:-The Arduino Integrated Development Environment - or Arduino Software (IDE) - contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions, and a series of menus. It connects to the Arduino and Genuino hardware to admin/upload programs and communicate with them. 2.SINRIC PRO:-Simple way to control your IOT development boards like RaspberryPi, ESP8226, ESP32, or Arduino with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or SmartThings.
