🎯 Project Idea:
Control lights, fans, or appliances using your voice via Google Assistant and IFTTT integration — hands-free automation!
📦 Components Needed:
NodeMCU (ESP8266 Wi-Fi board)
Relay Module
Jumper Wires
Smartphone with Google Assistant
IFTTT account (free)
LED Bulb or Fan (demo device)
🧰 Tools Required:
Arduino IDE
IFTTT setup via browser
USB Cable
Wi-Fi connection
🧠 How It Works:
Use Google Assistant to say a custom command
IFTTT sends a web request (Webhook) to NodeMCU
NodeMCU receives the trigger and switches the relay
Relay controls the appliance (ON/OFF)
💡 Learning Outcome:
Real-world voice-controlled automation
Learn about Webhook URLs, IoT protocols, and cloud triggers
Explore integration of AI assistants with hardware
💰 Estimated Cost: ₹500–₹700
(Only extra effort is setting up IFTTT — no extra components)
