How to make electronic smart door lock using Arduino

It is an Arduino based Door lock project. You can Look & unlock any door using your smartphone.

How does it work

It is a very simple Arduino based electronic door lock project. You can lock & unlock using a smartphone via Bluetooth.

Here we are using an android app “Remote XY” for operating the solenoid door lock.

The smartphone is connected with Arduino via Bluetooth module Hc 05.

We are sending a command from a smartphone using the Remote XY app & then the Arduino digital pin 13 goes high & low.

The relay module is connected to Arduino pin 13 & the solenoid lock is connected to the relay module so we can control the solenoid lock by sending commands from the smartphone.

Arduino is running on 9v battery power & the Relay module & the solenoid lock is powered by an AC to DC 12v 1 amp power adapter.

You can use only 12v power for all circuits but there, you have to use a 5v regulator circuit for Arduino. For simplicity, I am going to use a 9v battery for Arduino & 12v adapter for solenoid lock & relay.

You need to make

Arduino UNO
Bluetooth module HC 05
Single-channel Relay module
Plywood
9V Battery
DC socket
Jumper wire
12 volt 1 AMP DC adapter
Solenoid lock
Smartphone ( Android or iPhone )

Connection & circuit diagram

bluetooth door lock circuit — Bluetooth door lock circuit

Bluetooth module TX is connected to Arduino pin D2

Bluetooth module RX is connected to Arduino pin D3

Bluetooth module VCC is connected to Arduino pin 5v

Bluetooth module GND is connected to Arduino pin GND

Relay module signal input pin is connected to Arduino D13

The solenoid lock is connected via relay module ( please follow connection diagram )

App & Arduino code

Here I have used the Remote XY app. you have to download & install the Remote XY app from the app store. It is a free app.

You have to install the Remote XY library in Arduino IDE – Download the Remote XY library from here.

After installation of the library create a new file on Arduino IDE then select all and press delete to make it blank. Now copy the following Arduino code & paste it into your new blank file & save it.

Connect Arduino Uno. Select board Arduino Uno, select proper comport & upload code to Arduino UNO.
