About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a simple system that lets you turn a household device (like a lamp) on or off using either a physical button or a basic app on your phone. Your main control is a relay, which safely switches the device's power.

Why it's a good starter: This project is hands-on and practical, with clear steps. You'll wire up basic hardware, write simple code, and see immediate real-world results-perfect for building confidence and skills.

What you'll learn: You'll practice simple circuit building, basic microcontroller programming, and get a taste of IoT by adding mobile control. No prior experience with electronics projects is needed!

Milestones

1. Project Setup & Planning

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan: choose your microcontroller, find a relay module, sketch your system (block diagram), and list what appliance you'll control. Done when your plan is clear, complete, and hardware is ready.

2. Build: Relay Control with Button

35 marks 10d

Submit a photo and brief explanation showing your microcontroller switching the relay with a button press (no app yet). Done when it reliably toggles the relay and is safe to operate.

3. Build: Add App Control

35 marks 10d

Submit a video (or screenshots) and code showing you can control the relay from your phone app or web interface (as well as the button). Done when both controls work, and you document how you connected the app.

4. Testing & Polishing

10 marks 6d

Submit a checklist and evidence (photos/videos) showing you tested all features (button and app control), checked safety, and made any improvements (like labeling or neatness). Done when the project is reliable and tidy.

5. Demo & Short Report

10 marks 5d

Submit a short report (1-2 pages) and a video demo explaining how your project works, what went well, and what you learned. Done when you clearly communicate your process and results.
