# Light bulb on/off with Sound Sensor

# Introduction

In this project, using KiMu's Automate Advanced Kit, we are going to build a system that uses relay switch and a sound sensor to automatically turn on/off the light bulb based on the sound.

# Key skills/Learnings

  1. Problem Solving
  2. Logical Thinking
  3. Working of relay switch & sound sensor

Note: All activities which involve main voltages (voltage greater than 50V) should be performed under adult supervision.

Step 1: Connect the light bulb to the power plug with a wire(black).
Step 2: Connect one end of the relay to the light bulb with wire(red) and the other end to the power plug.
Step 3: Connect the sound sensor to the U3 connector of the sensor board.
Step 4: For the connections of the Relay, Sensor board, and power refer to below image.

STEP 1- OFF
STEP 2 - ON


Note: Automate can be controlled using a cable by selecting the cable option instead of Wi-Fi under the remote option.

* To find voltage to be set in the automate app & to know more on sound sensor, see Working and Calibration of Sound Sensor


To upload the program, see How to upload the program to the Control Unit with Automate App?

The light bulb can be switched on/off by making a sound, after uploading this program.
