A fun project to learn about various sensors, actuators and how to put them up together practically in a system. Home automation and IoT is on the rise and is a certain inspiration behind the project.
The aim of the project is to build a system that lets us remotely control the color and brightness of an RGB Led (lamp) and also display the temperature and humidity of the room. Now we can use our phone and an app and connect it via bluetooth to the Arduino Uno to do so..
To build the app, I used the user friendly MIT App Inventor Tool to create a basic UI, logic etc. The end product is an Android app that allows us to connect via bluetooth to our System and choose what to control.
The DHT11(temperature sensor), LED, 16x 2 LCD Display and HC05 are wired up to the Arduino using a breadboard. Once the software is uploaded to our Arduino, we are ready to go. Video working in link below.

NOTE: We can use a PCB for connections and build a framework for our system and make it a proper embedded system using batteries to power our Arduino. Since the aim of this project is to learn, I have not done so.
