Raspberry Pi (Using PiRelay App)

PiRelay is an Android app you can use to Switch or Pulse the GPIO Pins of a Raspberry Pi connected to Relays. To use this app you will need to setup your Raspberry Pi and Relays. App Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfindlay.pirelaypro

• To setup PiRelay on Raspberry Pi, run the below commands one by one. Must complete all commands to make it work with Raspberry Pi.

Commands to Install: WiringPi, Apache, PHP & Download the GPIO PHP File

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wiringpi apache2 libapache2-mod-php -y

sudo wget https://pirelay.jasonfindlay.com/downloads/gpio.dl

sudo mv gpio.dl /var/www/html/gpio.php

Setting Up Your Android Device

• Download Pi Relay app from the Play Store here: PiRelay App Download

• Make sure your Pi and Android Device are on the same network. Then in the app settings, you can define a custom Server URL. This is the network path to your Raspberry Pi. The default path is " http://raspberrypi/ ", however, you can define an IP address or a custom URL. To set up communication with your Raspberry Pi, click on ≡ >> Pi URL Addresses, then set Pi 1 : Your Pi IP Address (for eg: http://192.168.1.14)
• To turn on/off relays, Use Pins as Wiring Pi pinout shown above in Pinout table.
• To setup Relays, Click on ≡ >> Number of Relays, and set it to 2.
• Now again click on ≡ >> Setup Relays, Now click on any relay and set WiringPi Pin for Relay 1 as 24, and Relay 2 as 23. You can also set Relay default status here.
• Now move back to the home screen and click on On/Off button to turn on/off relays.

Raspberry Pi (Using Python)

• Connect Home Automation HAT on GPIO header of Raspberry Pi.

• Clone or download the Home Automation HAT GitHub repository by running the below command. It will clone the repository on /home/pi location.

git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/Home-Automation-HAT.git

• Run the below command to enter the cloned repository. You can also use GUI to open cloned repository folder from the /home/pi location.

cd Home-Automation-HAT

• To test code, run the below command. It will turn on and off the relay at an interval of 0.5 seconds.

python3 test.py

• You can also run the GUI code by running the below command. It will open a window with 2 Buttons, You can use these two buttons to control the relays.

python3 Home_Auto_GUI.py
