Creating a Home Automation Project Using MIT App Inventor

Creating a Home Automation Project Using MIT App Inventor You must've read one of my previous blogs where I used a Xiao ESP32C3 board to control an LED using Arduino IoT Cloud's dashboards using the integrated wi-fi of the board.  Instead of using the Arduino Cloud, I am now creating an app with MIT App Inventor. This app will include the board's IP address to connect our phone to its own small Wi-Fi network. But, we'll not only do this, we're going to practically implement this in our house using a real light bulb. To do that, we will need: A XIAO ESP32C3 board and its cable A single-channel relay A light bulb holder 7-8 electrical wires Some wires A 10x10x5 cm box with screw connecting pillars Tools: Screw driver Computer/PC/Laptop Soldering gun and its accessories Instructions: 1. Take your Xiao board and upload the code provided below. Before doing that, you can change the *ssid of your Wi-Fi name to whatever you want and also modify its *password according to y...

I clicked on it and started analysing it. This is the link to the original project- Link to the original project . I loved it and I decided to make it. It was a unique project that was definitely going to take a long time.  At first, I had to 3D print ...
