 INTRODUCTION
• Normally before now electrical or electronics appliances such as
light, fan, electric stove, air condition where being control through
the manual switch way that involves fuse, change over, circuit
breakers, etc. to turn on or off appliances, and also requires
individual to be around for proper monitoring and maintenance.
• But these study involves the automation of appliances, that enables
one to control the electronic devices in home using wireless means
by use of an app and NodeMCU. This devices are connected to the
internet, and their controls are automated using an app or voice
assistant rather than the usual manual control. Automation of
appliances makes lifes more convenient, and to help the
elderly/handicap to reduce the discomfort of try to reach the switches
to operate them.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Problem of inconsistency or human errors in
switching ON/OFF of the electrical
appliances(rushing for work)
2. Problem of energy loss due to human error (prepaid
meters)
3. Problem of discomfort to the elderly/handicap
people while trying to switch on/off of the electrical
appliances
4. Problem of not keeping track of appliances that are
running and to monitor their performance
 AIM/OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study is to provide an automation
system for switching ON/OFF home appliances.
The objectives are outlined below:
• To create a wireless interface between our smart
phones and the electrical appliances using
NodeMCU board from anywhere around the
world..
• To checkmate the state of our devices using our
sinric app.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT
• The study intends to construct an arduino based/smart
home automation system, that will serve as an
easy/energy saving approach to monitor and control
electrical appliances even from a remote location.
• This will be achieved by a communication between the
NodeMCU board and the sinric app. It is designed to
help handicapped and aged people to be able to
control the appliances without moving from one point
to another. Which also reduces cost and to save mans
energy.
 SCOPE OF PROJECT
• The scope of the project is to create a user
friendly system that automate electrical
appliances such as bulb, fan, switch etc. in the
homes, but are not limited to offices, banks,
industries etc. which can be controlled online
using our mobile phone, or through our voice
command.
 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
• The system tends not to operate when there is
no internet access
• The system tends not to operate when there is
no power supply
 LITERATURE REVIEW
a. Aboidum E. Et al (2020) presented an Home automation system using
Bluetooth and smart phone: In this techniques the home appliances are
connected and controlled using arduino boards and Bluetooth module
for its operation. A Bluetooth control application is needed to be
download and install it in user smartphone. This technique is simple and
can be hacked easily. And it have limitation that it can be used up to 10
meters only.

b. Md.Nasfikur et al(2017) presented an Home automation using RF

module: This project is done by using RF remote to control the appliances,
it is accomplish when a RF remote is combined with a microcontroller on
the transmitter side that sends on/off signal to the receiver where the
devices are connected.

 METHODOLOGY
In other for the project to work effectively, The system is broken down into 2
main categories, which are;
1. The hardware: the main important component is the NodeMCU board which it
has the capability to connect to the router. It will be also be able to turn on/off
specified devices, such as lights and fan using our relays.

2. The software: the sinric pro application, and the Google assistant constitute the
software of the design and this applications would be integrated in the android
device.

Working Principle
For the operation to function, the NodeMCU board need to be connected to a wifi,
using the sinric pro application it tend send command to trigger the relay hereby
turning ON and OFF the applainces
 METHODOLOGY
• Hardwares components
1. NodeMCU Board: is an devices which is being connected to the Wi-Fi/hostpot
that receives command from the blynk app and the send command to the relays
system.

2. 3 channel relays: a 3 channel relay interface board allows us to control various

appliances, and other equipment with large current. It can be controlled directly
by microcontrollers such as ( arduino, NodeMCU, raspberry pi. Etc.)

3. Jumper wires: jumper wires are used in making connection between items on
your breadboard and your arduino header pins. Which are used to wire up all
circuit

4. 3 way switch: it is basically used to open and close a circuit and it is used to on
and off light bulbs manually.
 METHODOLOGY
• SOFTWARE COMPONENT
• The software application is consist basically of the sinric pro app, Google assistant and
the arduino code.

1. sinric pro app: sinric pro app is an application software that helps to control your
appliances and to monitor the state of the devices either being in on/off state. It send
command to the NodeMCU microcontroller board

2. Arduino code: this is the code being encrypted on the NodeMCU board that tell the
board how to function in other to control our devices with the use of the use of our
mobile phone.

• 3. Google assistance: the Google assistant is an artificial intelligence based on visual

assistant software which allows its user to control all the electrical appliances by the
use of voice command
•
 CONCLUSION
• In conclusion, the objectives of this study was
successfully actualised; with the combination
of Sinric pro application, NodeMCU board,
relays and google assistance being able to
automatically switch ON/OFF of home
appliances like the fan, light bulbs, study lamp
etc.
• Therefore is significant as a solution to the
problems associated with the study.
