Room-based automation system

Playing around with the intersection of Blynk API and hardware.

Overview

Networked home automation prototype controlling appliances via Blynk API and microcontrollers. Demonstrates multi-sense environment control: visual (WS2812 LED patterns), auditory (mood-countering playlists), and olfactory (custom fragrance pump). Engineering pivoted from MTCNN/YOLOv8 to Haar Cascade for real-time performance.

Features

WS2812 LED visual moods
Mood-based playlists
Custom fragrance actuation
Haar Cascade for low-latency

Tech Stack

Arduino: Microcontroller IDE
WS2812: RGB LEDs Ring strip
Blynk: Application for IoT control
Embedded C: For hardware programming
