BoltIoT Platform

Bolt IoT platform gives you the capability to control your devices and collect data from IoT devices safely and securely no matter where you are. Get actionable insights by deploying machine learning algorithms with just a few clicks to detect anomalies as well as predict sensor values.

To know more visit boltiot.com.

Step 2: Assembling the hardware

1. Connect the 5V supply pin and GND of the Bolt to the 5V and GND pins of the relay module.

2. Connect any one of the digital pin i.e (0-4) of the Bolt to the IN/REL pin of the relay module.

3. Connect a wire from the bulb holder to the COM pin of the relay module.

4. Connect a wire from the NO pin of the relay module to the 2-pin socket.

5. Connect the remaining terminal of the bulb holder tot the other terminal of the 2-pin socket.

NOTE: Check all the connections carefully before proceeding.

CAUTION: Playing with high voltages is dangerous, so be careful.

Step 3: Connecting Bolt to cloud

If you already have an account on the cloud.boltiot.com then skip this step.

To create your new account and link your Bolt device to cloud click here.

Step 4: Uploading the Code

1. Visit cloud.botiot.com and login with your account credentials.

2. Click on 'Product' tab and create a product as shown.

Step 4: Uploading the Code

1. Visit cloud.botiot.com and login with your account credentials.

2. Click on 'Product' tab and create a product as shown.

3. Configure the product.

4. Upload the code and save the configuration.

NOTE: Make sure correct digital pin is used in the code.

NOTE: Save the configuration before proceeding.

5. Link the Bolt to the product.

6. Click on 'View this device'

7. Click on ON button to switch ON the lamp and click on OFF button to switch OFF the lamp.

Testing

For testing the system follow the steps below:

1. Power up the Bolt device and ensure that it is connected to the cloud.

2. Connect the bulb holder to the AC power supply (i.e wall socket) using the 2- pin socket.

3. Login into your account on cloud.boltiot.com and go to your product and click ' View the action' button.

4. Now control the Bulb using the ON/OFF button over the internet to make home smart.

Step 6: Working Principle

The working of the system is very simple and easy. Let's get it understood!

The system uses a simple use of API (Application Program Interface) call that turns the state of the digital pin to HIGH or LOW. The state of this pin is further used to switch the relay ON or OFF. And this API call is activated when you press the button on the browser.

When the relay is in OFF state it breaks the circuit between the Bulb and the power supply result of which the bulb goes off whereas when the relay is in ON state it completes the circuit connection between bulb and power supply as a result of which bulb lights up.
