Author:ASCAS Follow me on facebook.Hi I'm Angelo! I'm spending
my last year of high school so I'll be gone for a while, preparing
for college. Please understand that I can't assist you right
now.BTW, you can follow me on facebook.
Intro: DIY Android Home Automation BoxHere's a little show and
tell of my Android controlled home automation box. It's a small
extension box that's controlled by an Android smartphone. You can
turn theindividual outlets on by tapping a button from the app or
use the speech recognition app, found from my previous tutorial.
I've teamed up with my friends and built acustom app for out home
automation prototype project. My former classmate/ fellow ible
member "treyes4" built something similar.
__________________
It's just a prototype so don't expect much from this version. I
assure that next version would be explained more thoroughly.
________________
I'll be gone for a while: I'll be posting a video once I get
back from the international trade and business competition hosted
by FedEx (school related). I posted this guideearly, since the home
automation contest deadline is due today. There's a lot of
unexplained areas in this guide, without the prior knowledge, this
project would bedifficult to execute. Just ask questions below,
I'll answer them through my phone. Once I get back, I'll edit and
update this guide. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Step 1: Bill Of MaterialsIf your having trouble in finding them,
I'm sure RadioShack has all of them. If you want to buy online try
searching on Amazon or DealExtreme.
Thing that you'll need:
- Android Phone & App
- Arduino UNO (a clone works fine)
- Low Power/ Switching Power Supply
- Dot Matrix Solderless Breadboard
- HC-05 Serial Bluetooth Module
- 2N3904 NPN Transistor (5x)
- 2.2k Ohm Resistor 1/4 (5x)
- 6V Relays (5x)
- Jumper Cables

Step 2: Find A Good EnclosureI bought my enclosure from Alexan,
a local electronics/ hobby store. This project is a prototype, the
perfect enclosure would be an enclosure big enough to house
anArduino prototyping board and a small switching-PSU.

Step 3: Glue The Sockets TogetherAlign the outlets then use
superglue to hold them temporarily. Hot glue can be used to
strengthen the bond. After gluing, start to link a common rail. The
linked rail work'slike a common ground although this is AC ~ so
it's not.
Step 4: Align & Measure The SocketsAlign the AC sockets
together then acquire the dimensions of the array of sockets.
Step 5: Transfer The MeasurementsTransfer your measurements by
using a marker and ruler.

Step 6: Grind And Drill The EnclosureUse your hacksaw or rotary
tool to cut off the plastic that you've marked. Use a metal file to
even out the edges.
Step 7: Construct The Relay CircuitI constructed my DIY relay
circuit. Obviously this is a complete prototype, I used a perfboard
for mounting my components on. This is dangerous, exposed AC line
cancause death through electrocution. Before attempting this
project, be sure you're qualified to execute the task. My next
version in the future would probably include solidstate relays
mounted on a custom PCB.

Step 8: Wire The PSUThe PSU will serve as your Relay and
Arduino's power supply. I bought mine from ebay.
Specs: 12v (1 Amp)

works great.
jueljp says: Jan 2, 2015. 1:01 PM REPLYany difference made to
the electronics/coding?
IshanP says: Feb 12, 2015. 3:26 AM REPLYi just wanted to know
weather or not i can use 5 of these instead of soldering the
relays

jueljp says: Jan 2, 2015. 1:08 PM REPLYhow much watts per plug,
i intend to use it to control some leds in my bedroom
ASCAS says: Jan 22, 2015. 1:47 AM REPLYThat would depend on the
relay that you have selected.
LongJ says: Dec 30, 2014. 7:21 PM REPLYWoah .... Major rookie
mistake here. You MUST put a diode across those relay coils or you
are going to get a reverse polarity voltage spike back through
thedriver transistor when the magnetic field of the relay coil
collapses (This is the same effect switch mode power supplies use
to generate lower, higher andopposite polarity voltages) A reverse
polarity diode across the coil will spike that voltage to ground
while doing nothing during normal operation. There areliterally
hundreds of examples of how to do this on the internet.
At least you have a transistor between the coil and the micro
which helps protect the micro from the inductive kickback of the
relay coil but you still need thatclamping/snubbing diode. Think of
it as an insurance policies that costs just a few pennies
ASCAS says: Dec 30, 2014. 9:25 PM REPLYI did actually, I added a
1N4007 rectifier on each relay although I forgot to document it
here.
LongJ says: Jan 21, 2015. 12:42 PM REPLYI'm not trying to be
harsh here but you really should go back and add that to the
documentation so those that don't know any better don't make
themistake of leaving them out. Maybe even a short blurb explaining
why this diode is important (I stock 1n4004 in the same bin as my
relays becauseto me they are a set) You obviously have some skills,
you just need to polish them and I certainly don't want to
discourage you. One thing myGrandfather who was a Master
Electrician taught me when I was still in high school and still
serves me well (And I'm a BSEE) to this day is:
The difference between a Master and a Journeyman is attention to
detail .....
LongJ says: Dec 30, 2014. 7:59 PM REPLYI'd like to add a couple
of other tips. For those on 220/240V systems it doesn't matter
which leg you switch but those of us in the US or other places
with120V systems you should switch the black or Hot wire NOT the
white or neutral wire which is a big no no and a violation of
Federal (and State) ElectricalCodes. The reason being the white
neutral wire is actually connected to the ground buss in the main
service (breaker) box
Even if you are using a non-conductive case please use a proper
3 prong grounded plug, ground your power supply's case and make
sure the safetygrounds are run to all receptacles. Also I would put

Nikus says: Nov 23, 2014. 4:12 AM REPLYI had the same problem
but I solved it. You need to change in android code this:
private static String address = "30:14:08:15:20:57";
on address of your bluetooth module. You can check it in
bluetooth settings on your phone.
SOHAIBciit says: Nov 14, 2014. 9:08 PM REPLYHow to Install the

ASCAS says: Oct 27, 2014. 11:08 PM REPLYBy following the given
schematic.
william.catchin says: Oct 27, 2014. 9:39 PM REPLYwhy the RX-TX
pin of bluetooth module connected to pin 2-3 instead of TX-RX pin
in arduino board?
ASCAS says: Oct 27, 2014. 11:08 PM REPLYI reassigned the pins,
because the BT module interferes with the arduino when I'm
uploading a sketch.
OhYeahThatGuy81 says: Sep 29, 2014. 5:59 AM REPLYVery nice!
How does it feel to be a TV star?
kimpoy.develles says: Sep 7, 2014. 9:28 PM REPLYHi Mr.
Angelo!I'm planning to do your Home automation project as my school
project..I'm wondering what sketch should be uploaded to the
arduino board?its abit confusing because there are 3 sketches and I
don't know which sketch should be uploaded..thanks :)
Tezeusz says: Sep 21, 2014. 12:16 PM REPLYis not a sketch, it's
a tab :)
deba168 says: Aug 12, 2014. 9:25 AM REPLYCongrats Angelo :)
ASCAS says: Aug 13, 2014. 3:06 AM REPLYThanks and congrats to
you as well, my friend! :D
DangerousTim says: Aug 5, 2014. 3:12 AM REPLYIt's an awesome
project, but isn't it a little cumbersome to use your phone just to
operate switches?
ASCAS says: Aug 7, 2014. 2:01 AM REPLYMaybe, but the box does
more than responding to app buttons. The PIR (motion) sensor is
linked to my home automation box with an RF module. Everytime I
enter my room, the box turns all the appliances on. The appliances
turns off when the are no movements detected within the 30 minute
timeperiod.
Second, you can also download a voice activated app to control
the home automation box via speech recognition. I have a separate
tutorial of it.
DangerousTim says: Aug 9, 2014. 3:01 AM REPLYAwesome
ideas!!!
critterfluffy says: Aug 7, 2014. 11:59 AM REPLYI can think of a
couple really cool examples where this is useful and
environmentally savvy. Feel free to steal these : )1.Add an RFID to
a wireless charger station and when you phone detectsvia NFS, it
turns the power to the charging pad on. Kills the energyvampire.2.
When you phone attaches to home wifi, it turns on youroutside
lights or when no phones are attached to home wifi it turns downthe
heater/AC, water heater, and turns off all appliances after
5minutes.
Basically giving your home a schedule and some sense ofwhere you
are can allow for tons of variation that could reduce energyuse.
Nice project.

Kante Tech says: Aug 8, 2014. 1:40 PM REPLYTheres really no
limit to the amount of relays and outlets that you could have
plugged in right?
ASCAS says: Aug 8, 2014. 5:03 PM REPLYThe only limit of adding
relays is the limited amount of Arduino pins. If you want to
connect more relays, multiplexers can be used.
sameerg says: Aug 6, 2014. 8:36 AM REPLYWonderful job. I decided
to try this.
ASCAS says: Aug 7, 2014. 1:53 AM REPLYThanks! :D
aremsajos says: Aug 6, 2014. 8:19 AM REPLYVery nice and clean
work, i always have interest in home automation but don't know
where to start from. if any body is willing to put me through or
give medirectives, good it will be appreciated. looking forward to
seeing somebody.
ASCAS says: Aug 7, 2014. 1:53 AM REPLYYou might want to wait for
my next beginner friendly Home Automation project! :)
mormor says: Aug 6, 2014. 7:35 AM REPLYVery neat, but you need
to put in a reverse polarity diode in parallel with the relay coil
to catch back-emf from the coil when the transistor opens the
circuit,and you should probably also make better separation between
live and the control circuit although as long as you are not
connecting anything else to thecircuit directly when connected to
the mains and it's in a closed box then you should be fine.
I like the idea of using bluetooth to control it! :-)
ASCAS says: Aug 7, 2014. 1:52 AM REPLYThanks! BTW, this is a
prototype, of a larger home automation system that I'm working on.
I'll add the diodes together with a custom PCB layout on myfinal
project. :D
johnybody says: Aug 6, 2014. 9:32 AM REPLYCool. How do you
upload the app to your phone? Which software do you use?
ASCAS says: Aug 7, 2014. 1:46 AM REPLYThe downloadable file
includes an APK installer. It was programmed by my friend. I'll be
updating this guide by adding alternative apps.
brandonkehl says: Aug 5, 2014. 2:58 PM REPLYWhere did you get
your power supply?
ASCAS says: Aug 6, 2014. 3:18 AM REPLYI bought mine from eBay
