Hello friends, In this article I am going to introduce my newly design fully SMT components used homeautomation PCB,this is 8 node homeautoamtion pcb.
Size of this PCB is very small due to SMT Components and it will easily fits inside your electrical switch board.
This PCB has inbuilt OTA button, that is, you can update the code wirelessly over the air.
And there is two Onbaord Led’s which you could use according to your need like testing your code or something else.
In my case I have used as WIFI indicator that is if WIFI connection is available then both the Led’s will glow else only single Led will glow.
We can give input to control our devices via Manaul switch button.
This features is useful when there is no internet is available,
So we can control our appliances manually as well as through internet from anywhere in this world.
We can also monitor the real time status(feedback) of appliances in the App either it is ON or OFF.
This pcb is compatible for all the smart speakers available in the market like Amazons Alexa , google home and Apples SIRI.
Designing the PCB
To design the circuit and PCB, we used EasyEDA which is a browser based software to design PCBs.
Designing the circuit works like in any other circuit software tool, you place some components and you wire them together.
Then, you assign each component to a footprint.
Having the parts assigned, place each component. When you’re happy with the layout, make all the connections and route your PCB.
Save your project and export the Gerber files.
Ordering the PCBs at PCBWay
This project is sponsored by PCBWay. PCBWay is a full feature Printed Circuit Board manufacturing service.
Turn your DIY breadboard circuits into professional PCBs – get 10 boards for approximately $5 + shipping (which will vary depending on your country).
Once you have your Gerber files, you can order the PCB. Follow the next steps.
1. Download the Gerber files – click here to download the .zip file.
2. Go to PCBWay website and open the PCB Instant Quote page.
3. PCBWay can grab all the PCB details and automatically fills them for you. Use the “Quick-order PCB (Autofill parameters)”.
4. Press the “+ Add Gerber file” button to upload the provided Gerber files.
And that’s it. You can also use the OnlineGerberViewer to check if your PCB is looking as it should.
Now select the shipping method , the one you prefer and has cost efficient.
You can increase your PCB order quantity and change the solder mask color. I’ve ordered the Black color.
Once you’re ready, you can order the PCBs by clicking “Save to Cart” and complete your order.
PCBWay has lots of other staggering solder mask, Now they can produce pink, orange, grey, even the transparent solder mask.
Apart from this they also provide Black core PCB.
After approximately one week using the DHL shipping method, I received the PCBs at my place.
As usual, everything comes well packed, and the PCBs are really high-quality.
The letters on the silkscreen are really well-printed and easy to read. Additionally, the solder sticks easily to the pads.
After soldiering rest of components PCB look like this neat, clean and well arranged.

} Copy the above code and open in Arduino ide. before you upload the code you need to enter the ssid and password of your router or hotspot.and blynk authentication token that is sent by blynk on your registered email id.
After doing this much of thing upload the code after selecting right board and COM port.
Press and hold the boot button and press the reset button once to make this module go inside the boot mode.
Connection of bulb and switches.
Connect all the bulbs & switches as per the above circuit diagram.
Thank you for sharing this article with me. It helped me a lot and I love it.
