Connect the led light and the fan to the board, make sure to check the colour of the wire.
(Unscrew the screws with a screwdriver before connecting the wires and make sure to tighten the screws after connecting all the wires)
Download / Setting Up Arduino IDE and the Code

- Download Arduino IDE from this offical website
- Download the code from this website
- Unzip the file, select DurianUno_Module_5_Smart_Home
- Copy the code to the arduino IDE
- On the arduino IDE, go to [Sketch] → [Include Library] → [Manage Libraries...]
- Search 'mybotic' and download the newest version
- Connect the board to your laptop with a type c usb cable.
- Next, go to [Tools] → [Board:] → [Arduino AVR Boards] → [Arduino Uno]
- Then, Go to [Tools] → [Port] →select the port you want to use
Good job, now you have set up all the things for Arduino IDE :)

- Create an account at http://blynk.cloud
- Go to the main menu, click + New Template
- Enter the details for the template
- Now, create 4 virtual datastreams using the data on pic 3 - 7, MAKE SURE YOU ENTERED THE EXACT DATA!!! (The colour doesnt matter)
- Now go to the main menu and click the magnifier on the left. Click add device . Then, click the Template and select Module 5.
- You should now have auth token, template id and template name, copy those.
- Go back to the arduino code, replace the placeholder code with your own auth tokens.
- Scroll down a bit, find the code where requires you to enter your wifi credentials. Delete the placeholder code and enter your own.
- Upload your code.

- When you open up the blynk app, if you had logged in to your account, you should have your device on the main menu
- When you click it, it should be empty, press the wrench at the top right
- Add 2 buttons and 2 sliders
- Configure the buttons and slides according to Pic 5 - 8
- Now your screen should looks like pic 9

- Now go back to arduino, go [Tools] --> [Serial monitor], the serial monitor should looks like pic 1 after you uploaded the code.
- Now open the Blynk app on your phone, try pressing the button, everything should work as intended.
- Good job, u have finished this project!
