Inauguration Control: Effortlessly Open Curtains and Control Relays with BlueBot

In modern automation, controlling devices remotely has become an essential part of simplifying everyday tasks. One such innovative system is inauguration control, which enables users to manage devices like motors and relays with just the press of a button. This control system can be used in various applications, including opening curtains, controlling lights, and even managing doors. In this blog, we will dive into how to use inauguration control via the BlueBot controller app to make the process smoother and more efficient, integrating it seamlessly with Arduino to handle motors, relays, and other devices wirelessly.

Inauguration control with BlueBot allows you to inaugurate your company or labs effortlessly by controlling a relay or motor with just one button.

What is Inauguration Control?

The concept of inauguration control revolves around automating the activation or deactivation of various devices in your home or office with minimal manual effort. For example, you can control a relay or motor to open the curtains with a simple click on your mobile screen. With BlueBot, the inauguration process becomes even more effortless, allowing you to automate and control these actions from anywhere, as long as you have Bluetooth connectivity. This setup is extremely useful in office buildings, labs, or any other commercial space that requires automation for routine tasks.

Features of the BlueBot Controller App

  • Simple Command Interface: Easily send commands like “ON” and “OFF” to control devices.
  • Customizable Buttons: Create custom commands to suit your project needs.
  • Real-Time Control: Instantly see the results of your actions.
  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Arduino and Bluetooth modules like HC-05 and HC-06.

How Does Inauguration Control Work?

With inauguration control, users can operate a motor or relay that is connected to devices such as curtains, doors, or lights. When you press the button in the BlueBot app, the connected Bluetooth module communicates with the Arduino or any microcontroller to activate the relay or motor. Here’s how it works:

  1. Bluetooth Communication: The BlueBot app sends commands to the Bluetooth module via the mobile phone. These commands can be simple, such as pressing a button to open or close a curtain, or more complex control sequences to manage other devices.
  2. Arduino and Relay Integration: The Arduino is connected to a relay or motor, which then controls the physical devices. The relay is used to switch the current on or off, while the motor is used to perform mechanical tasks such as moving curtains.
  3. Command Execution: Once the mobile app sends a command, the Bluetooth module reads the input and triggers the connected devices. If the button to open the curtains is pressed, the relay is triggered, and the motor moves the curtain open.

Let’s break it down with the inauguration control example where we use a simple LED to illustrate how it works.

Inauguration Control with BlueBot: Example Code

To demonstrate how inauguration control works, we will use the example code provided below. This code connects your Arduino with the BlueBot app and uses Bluetooth to control an LED, mimicking the control of a motor or relay to open curtains.

Code for Inauguration Control:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial myBT(2, 3); // RX, TX
const int ledPin = 13;     // Built-in LED pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  // Set LED pin as output
  myBT.begin(9600);         // Start Bluetooth communication
  Serial.begin(9600);       // Start Serial Monitor communication
  Serial.println("Bluetooth LED control ready.");
}

void loop() {
  if (myBT.available()) {
    char command = myBT.read(); // Read incoming command
    if (command == '1') {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn LED ON
      Serial.println("LED ON");
    }
  }
}

How This Code Works:

  1. SoftwareSerial Initialization: The Bluetooth module is set up on pins 2 and 3 of the Arduino.
  2. Pin Initialization: The LED pin (in this case, pin 13) is initialized as an output to control the connected device (LED).
  3. Command Listening: The loop function continuously checks if there’s any data available from the Bluetooth module. If it detects a command (in this case, the number ‘1’), it turns the LED on.

This simple code can be extended to control motors or relays instead of an LED, opening the curtain or triggering other devices.

Incorporating Motors and Relays for Inauguration Control

In a real-world application, the goal is to control more than just LEDs. For example, to control curtains, a motor would be used instead of an LED. The relay would act as a switch to control the motor’s power, allowing the curtains to open or close based on the user’s commands. Below is an example where we control a motor connected to a relay.

Code for Motor Control with Relay:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial myBT(2, 3); // RX, TX
const int relayPin = 7;    // Pin for relay control

void setup() {
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); // Set relay pin as output
  myBT.begin(9600);          // Start Bluetooth communication
  Serial.begin(9600);        // Start Serial Monitor communication
  Serial.println("Bluetooth Relay control ready.");
}

void loop() {
  if (myBT.available()) {
    char command = myBT.read(); // Read incoming command
    if (command == '1') {
      digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH); // Activate relay (open curtain)
      Serial.println("Curtains Opened");
    } else if (command == '0') {
      digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);  // Deactivate relay (close curtain)
      Serial.println("Curtains Closed");
    }
  }
}

Incorporating the Relay Control:

In this code:

  • Relay Pin: We use pin 7 to control the relay.
  • Relay Control: The relay is activated when the Bluetooth module receives the command ‘1’ (for opening the curtain), and deactivated with command ‘0’ (for closing the curtain).

By integrating a relay and motor into this system, you can control your curtains or any other similar device easily with a button press on your mobile phone.
