Part 4 - Ajax Home Automation...

Now the final part is downloading Ardumation Android App from Google Play Store.

Ardumation

The usage is quite simple and can be explained using simple steps.

1. Download and open the app.
2. Select a device manufacturer for the T.V. , Media Players(DVD, Blu-Ray..A. V. Receivers), A.C. and Others(If any) from the T.V. tab and do the same for D.T.H.(Digital Satellite Receiver) tab respectively.
3. Connect your smartphone to the Arduino, by pressing Menu key and choosing connect. (Default pairing key is 1234, if you haven't configured your HC-06/HC-05 Bluetooth module) .
4. The latest version has user enter their custom D.T.H. manufacturers for those whose devices names aren't listed in the D.T.H tab. 
5. The last tab simply controls the home switches you configured.

Watch the YouTube video regarding how to connect and the usage of this App.

Please leave any suggestions, comments and feed back on my blog , email or on Google Play Store.

Part 3 - Rebuilding from scratch..

Now after recording every button of each of the remotes that you have, you need to Edit the ardumation_dummy_sketch program and upload to your Arduino Board just like you did previously.

Start assembling your components in the shown order....

1. The Arduino Board (I have Freeduino...)

2. The Arduino Bluetooth Shield..

3. Bluetooth Module (I have BTBee)

4. Combine the shield with the Arduino...

5. Add the Bluetooth module on top of the Bluetooth shield..

6. Now add a Infrared LED to the Bluetooth shield. Connect the positive(Long lead) pin on the LED to No. 3 pin (Pin 9 for Arduino Mega) and the negative(Short Lead) pin to the Ground.

7. Finally, connect the usb cable to the Arduino, and upload the program that you downloaded from Tech.Madmax.

Note : If you want to Upload any program to Arduino, be sure to remove Bluetooth module.

8. Connect the Relay module to the Arduino using jumper wires, connect the +5V, GND from Relay Module to the +5V and GND of the Arduino respectivly. Next connect the numbered leads to the Arduino's digital pins(2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.)  in any order you like.
