Home Automation System Using

NodeMCU and Blynk


Introduction
Home automation is the use of technology to remotely monitor
and control household systems such as water level,
humidity, temperature, and appliances.
Objective
This project demonstrates how to build a home automation
system
using NodeMCU ESP8266 and the Blynk app.

It enables users to:


• Remotely control home appliances (lights, fans, etc.)
• Monitor temperature, humidity, gas leaks, and water
levels
Working of Components

ESP8266 (WiFi Module)


Connects the system to WiFi and communicates with the Blynk cloud
for remote monitoring and control.
DHT11 Sensor (Temperature & Humidity)
Measures temperature and humidity and sends data to the Blynk app
for real-time monitoring.

MQ-2 Gas Sensor


Detects gas leaks (LPG, CO, smoke) and triggers an alarm (Buzzer) if the
level is high.
Sends a warning notification to the Blynk app.

Ultrasonic Sensor (Water Level Monitoring)


Measures the distance of water level in a tank using sound waves.
Displays the level on the Blynk app.

Relays (Appliance Control)


Relay 1 & Relay 2 control electrical appliances (lights, fans, etc.).
Users can turn devices ON/OFF remotely via Blynk.

Buzzer
Alerts users in case of a gas leak or other critical conditions.
Blynk App Setup

1. Install Blynk App or or use chrome

• Sign up and create a new project (Name: Home Automation).

• Select ESP8266, choose WiFi, and get the Auth Token.

2. Add Widgets

• Gas Sensor (MQ-2) → Gauge (V1)

• Temperature & Humidity (DHT11) → Label/Gauge (V2, V3)

• Water Level (Ultrasonic Sensor) → Gauge/Graph (V4)


• Relay 1 & 2 (Control Appliances) → Button (V5, V6)

3. Connect to ESP8266

• paste Auth Token into the Arduino code.

• Upload the code and connect to Blynk Cloud.

4. Test & Monitor

• View sensor data and control relays remotely.

This setup enables remote control & monitoring of your home


automation system!
