Hi! What can we substitute with IOT Power Relay? We’ve been having a hard time looking for it online, as it seems to be sold out almost everywhere. Thanks

[@Science.Buddies]

It looks like Digikey has them in stock: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/2935/6227071. SparkFun and Adafruit used to carry a similar product called the Powerswitch Tail that's been discontinued: www.adafruit.com/product/268, but you could also look around to see if you can find a used one.

[@giannarivera4266]

@@Science.Buddies Hi! I'm from overseas so the IOT Power Relay is still a bit expensive for us. Are there any other alternatives for it?

[@giannarivera4266]

Also, do you need both the Elechouse and the Grove Speech Recognizer for this project?

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - unfortunately we're not currently aware of any other alternatives to the IoT relay, unless you can find a used Powerswitch Tail somewhere. And no, you only need one of the speech recognition modules for this project, we just show examples of a few different kinds. (Apologies for the delayed reply - until now, KZbin only notified us of new comments, not additional replies to older comments)

Hello, I was just wondering if i can use a LED instead of a lamp . I that case I will not require a relay??? Waiting for your response.

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - yes, you can use this with any other output on the Arduino (LED, buzzer, motor, etc), you do not need to use the IoT relay. We have tutorials for many other devices in our Arduino playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLlBVuTSjOrclb0iCMSRpS_H1lSrlSVeEm&si=bLFp6fkkTAFccyKD

Hello! How long did it take you to do this project voice command?

[@Science.Buddies]

It depends on your level of Arduino experience, but if you have all the materials you should be able to have this up and running in less than a day.

Am I able to change the microphone

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - it depends on which voice recognition module you choose. Some have a built-in microphone and some require an external microphone.

[@hunt23.]

@@Science.Buddies with elechouse vr3 its able to use different microphone ?

[@noidea2799]

Hello sir! Do you know the problem with what i did as i copy what you've done the training if voice goes well as it notified for its success but when i load the trained command it says record untrained

[@Science.Buddies]

Several other people have reported this issue lately and if you Google the error message it appears to be an issue with recent boards discussed in support forum threads. We recommend contacting the manufacturer for a refund or replacement.

[@noidea2799]

hello sir do you know any alternative i can use instead of using iot power relay?

[@Science.Buddies]

Unfortunately we're not aware of a direct substitute for the IoT power relay.

[@RAJPUTGAMER-kv7ge]

Bro where do find detailed lecturers about Arduino like how to use it, how to give it commands, and what software is required to give instruction if required

[@vasilbagalishvili8729]

Can this module recognize words in any language?

[@Science.Buddies]

It depends which module you're referring to. The Grove module only recognizes a predetermined list of English commands. The Elechouse module can be trained to recognize any sound (which would include works in other languages).

[@FrenchFriPlaysMinecraft]

Hi science buddies. I'm doing this project for my science fair, and is there any code to upload to the arduino for the lamp, like the led? Like is there an example code, or do I just not upload any code. I've connected the arduino and IOT relay, and set up the elechouse, but It wont turn on after I say on. Thank you!

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - please refer to the written instructions on our website: www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Elec_p093/electricity-electronics/arduino-voice-controlled-lamp. If you are running the example code as instructed there, you need to have the IoT relay connected to pin 13 on the Arduino, or edit the code to control it with a different pin. Make sure you are seeing the on-board LED on the Arduino (which is also connected to pin 13) turn on as well.

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - if you're having trouble with this project, please post your question, along with your code and pictures of your circuit, in the Ask an Expert forum on our website, and we will be able to help: www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/ask-an-expert-intro

[@jomfawad9255]

Does it recognise the user's voice? so its tailored to his specific voice?

[@Science.Buddies]

It depends which module you use, there are different models that are speaker dependent and speaker independent. Please see the links in the description.

[@salahalosali9708]

I hope you reply My friend and I have a voice project which is who to convert the electrical chair into voice commands responded We did it and we use the hard ware you used in this video ( Voice recognition) but it didn't provide a smart replay to our comments sometimes it turn on the chair just by hearing a noise voice So does there any hardware or software solutions for this issue?

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - this isn't really enough information for us to help you troubleshoot specific things. If you are a student doing a school science project then you can ask for help in the Ask an Expert forums on our website. Otherwise you could ask for help in the official Arduino forums on their website.

@@Science.Buddies I am a university student and this is a graduation project, I want you to inform me if there is a way to enhance the voice response

[@Science.Buddies]

There is nothing special about the lamp, it's just a basic desk lamp you can find at Target or Amazon etc.

Hello science bodies. I will like to ask a question concerning this video. Is it possible i do this project then i modify such that i can manually turn and off and also do voice command on the same project?

[@homeofcomedytv4570]

I will really wish for us to chat more so you can explain better because i am working on a project of a voice control light bulb/ manually putting on and off

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - yes, you can have multiple inputs control a single output with an Arduino. You may find our introductory Arduino series helpful if you are new to working with Arduino: kzbin.info/aero/PLlBVuTSjOrclb0iCMSRpS_H1lSrlSVeEm

[@noidea2799]

Can the laptop be removed ?

[@Science.Buddies]

You can run the Arduino on battery or wall power, it does not need to remain connected to a laptop.

[@giancarlocabiling1152]

Hello! Does it need the internet to function? Thank you!

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - no, that is the trade-off of using these devices. They do not require an internet connection but can only process a limited number of voice commands. If you use something like a Raspberry Pi, you can connect to a speech-to-text service that runs the same technology used for Siri, Alexa, etc, and can process anything you say - but this requires an internet connection.

hello, is there a specific arduino you used, or are all of them the same? thank you

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - so far, all of our Arduino projects use the Arduino UNO, which is the most common and popular board for beginners. However, all Arduinos are definitely NOT the same. You can read about some of the different types here, but we recommend the UNO for getting started: www.arduino.cc/en/hardware#boards-1

Hi I am just wondering if i can do this if my light bulb is directly connected to the circuit breaker and controlled by a common switch. What I want is just to insert the materials needed to the wire between bulb and switch with proper wiring. What do you want to suggest ? Thank you for an active response.

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - we do not recommend that approach because it involves handling high-voltage wiring directly, which can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. The IoT relay allows you to interface with high-voltage lights and appliances without needing to work with the high voltage wiring directly. If you want to do that we recommend that you consult an electrician.
