Controlled LED by Google voice assistant

16th October 2018 Harshvardhan Mishra

In this tutorial we learn How To Controlled LED by Google voice assistant with help of Adafruit IoT Platform and IFTTT. Adafruit Industries is an open-source hardware company based in New York City. IFTTT is a free platform that helps you do more with all your apps and devices

Adafruit was founded in 2005 by MIT hacker & engineer, Limor “Ladyada” Fried. Her goal was to create the best place online for learning electronics and making the best designed products for makers of all ages and skill levels. Adafruit has grown to over 100+ employees in the heart of NYC with a 50,000+ sq ft. factory. Adafruit has expanded offerings to include tools, equipment, and electronics that Limor personally selects, tests, and approves before going in to the Adafruit store. Adafruit is a 100% woman owned company. –By Adafruit.com

IFTTT is the free way to get all your apps and devices talking to each other. Not everything on the internet plays nice, so we’re on a mission to build a more connected world.

Things used in this tutorial

NODEMCU -ESP8266
White LED bulb
Two Connecting wires

1 – Setup Adafruit IO account

Visit https://io.adafruit.com and sign up. Now create a Feed and dashboard. You can give any name for feed and dashboard.

Click on dashboard and create a new block by clink on plus sign button for configuration. Select a toggle and select feed what you create. Now click on next step. Here you can give any name for block, fill ON in the button on text and fill OFF in the button off text.

Note your AIO key, username and feed name for Led Program.

2 – Arduino Sktech

Flash this code in ESP8266 help of Arduino IDE.

#include "Adafruit_MQTT.h" // Adafruit APIs for MQTT server talks
#include "Adafruit_MQTT_Client.h" // Board Specification APIs are defined inside this one
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

while(sub=mqtt.readSubscription(5000))
{
if(sub==&mysub)
{
if(strcmp((char *)mysub.lastread,"ON")==0)
{

Serial.println("LED is on");
Serial.println((char*)mysub.lastread);
digitalWrite(D0,HIGH);
}
else
{
Serial.println("LED off");
analogWrite(D0,LOW);
}
}
}
Serial.println(".");
delay(1000);
}

3 – Setup IFTTT App

Download IFTTT android app and create two applets. First applet for ON LED and second applet for OFF LED. Open IFTTT app and select google voice assistant and adafruit for creating applet. Remember – write ON in the DATA TO SAVE field in adafruit section.
