IoT Base Home Automation
Here's an improved and optimized version of your IoT-based home automation Arduino code
using an HC-05 Bluetooth module and 4 relays. This version includes better structure, error
handling, and improved efficiency.
Enhancements in this Version:
✅ More readable and structured code
✅ Uses an array to manage relays efficiently
✅ Ensures relays are initialized correctly
✅ Provides better debugging information
📌 Arduino Code for Home Automation
cpp
CopyEdit
// Define relay pins in an array for better management
const int relayPins[] = {4, 5, 6, 7}; // Relay pins connected to Arduino
const int numRelays = sizeof(relayPins) / sizeof(relayPins[0]); // Number of
relays
char receivedChar; // Variable to store received data
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize Serial communication for Bluetooth HC-
05
// Set all relay pins as OUTPUT and turn them OFF initially
for (int i = 0; i < numRelays; i++) {
pinMode(relayPins[i], OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(relayPins[i], HIGH); // HIGH means relay is OFF (Active
LOW Relay)
}
Serial.println("Bluetooth Home Automation Ready...");
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available()) { // Check if data is available
receivedChar = Serial.read(); // Read the received character
Serial.print("Received: ");
Serial.println(receivedChar); // Debugging
// Control relays based on received character
switch (receivedChar) {
case 'A': controlRelay(0, LOW); break; // Turn ON Relay 1
case 'a': controlRelay(0, HIGH); break; // Turn OFF Relay 1
case 'B': controlRelay(1, LOW); break; // Turn ON Relay 2
case 'b': controlRelay(1, HIGH); break; // Turn OFF Relay 2
case 'C': controlRelay(2, LOW); break; // Turn ON Relay 3
case 'c': controlRelay(2, HIGH); break; // Turn OFF Relay 3
case 'D': controlRelay(3, LOW); break; // Turn ON Relay 4
case 'd': controlRelay(3, HIGH); break; // Turn OFF Relay 4
default:
Serial.println("Invalid Command! Use A/a, B/b, C/c, D/d");
break;
}
}
}
// Function to control relay with debug messages
void controlRelay(int relayIndex, int state) {
if (relayIndex >= 0 && relayIndex < numRelays) {
digitalWrite(relayPins[relayIndex], state);
Serial.print("Relay ");
Serial.print(relayIndex + 1);
Serial.println(state == LOW ? " ON" : " OFF");
} else {
Serial.println("Error: Invalid relay index!");
}
}
📌 Wiring Connections:
Component Arduino Uno
HC-05 VCC 5V
HC-05 GND GND
HC-05 TX RX (Pin 0) (⚠ Needs disconnection while uploading code!)
HC-05 RX TX (Pin 1) (⚠ Use voltage divider to step down from 5V to 3.3V!)
Relay 1 IN Pin 4
Relay 2 IN Pin 5
Relay 3 IN Pin 6
Relay 4 IN Pin 7
⚠ Note:
The relays use Active LOW logic, so LOW means ON and HIGH means OFF.
Use a voltage divider (1KΩ & 2KΩ) to convert Arduino TX (5V) to HC-05 RX
(3.3V).
📌 How to Use the System
1. Pair HC-05 with your Smartphone (Default PIN: 1234 or 0000).
2. Use a Bluetooth Terminal App like "Bluetooth Terminal HC-05".
3. Send Commands:
o 'A' → Turn ON Relay 1
o 'a' → Turn OFF Relay 1
o 'B' → Turn ON Relay 2
o 'b' → Turn OFF Relay 2
o 'C' → Turn ON Relay 3
o 'c' → Turn OFF Relay 3
o 'D' → Turn ON Relay 4
o 'd' → Turn OFF Relay 4
📌 Why is This Code Better?
✅ Uses an array for relays → Easier to expand in future
✅ Has error handling for unexpected commands
✅ Includes debug messages for easier troubleshooting
✅ More efficient with a separate controlRelay() function
📌 Possible Future Upgrades
🔥 Use ESP8266/ESP32 to control via WiFi
🔥 Add Voice Control using Google Assistant or Alexa
🔥 Add a Smartphone App for a better UI
This should be a perfect solution for your home automation project. Let me know if you need
further improvements! 🚀😊

what is the range between HC-05 and mobile device
ChatGPT said:
The range of the HC-05 Bluetooth module depends on environmental conditions and obstacles.
Here’s a breakdown of its typical range:
📌 HC-05 Bluetooth Module Range
✅ Indoors (Obstacles like walls, furniture, etc.) → 5 to 10 meters (16 - 33 feet)
✅ Outdoors (Clear line of sight, no obstacles) → 10 to 20 meters (33 - 66 feet)
✅ Optimal Conditions (Minimal interference, ideal setup) → Up to 30 meters (98 feet)
📌 Factors That Affect Range
1. Obstacles: Walls, furniture, and metal objects reduce signal strength.
2. Interference: Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, and other Bluetooth devices can cause interference.
3. Power Supply: A stable 5V power supply ensures the best performance.
4. Antenna Orientation: Keeping the HC-05 antenna exposed (not covered by enclosures)
improves range.
Simple code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(6, 7); // RX, TX pins for HC-05
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
mySerial.begin(9600);
pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
pinMode(11, OUTPUT);
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(12, HIGH);
digitalWrite(11, HIGH);
digitalWrite(10, HIGH);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
void loop()
{
if (mySerial.available() > 0)
{
char data = mySerial.read();
Serial.println(data);
if (data == 'B')
{
digitalWrite(12, HIGH);
}
else if (data == 'A')
{
digitalWrite(12, LOW);
else if (data == 'D')
{
digitalWrite(11, HIGH);
else if (data == 'C')
{
digitalWrite(11, LOW);
else if (data == 'F')
{
digitalWrite(10, HIGH);
else if (data == 'E')
{
digitalWrite(10, LOW);
else if (data == 'H')
{
digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
else if (data == 'G')
{

}
}
