Circuit Connections:
1. Power Supply: Connect 5V Power Adapter in parallel to supply power to:
- SIM900A VCC
- Arduino Nano Every VCC
- Relay VCC
2. Relay Module:
- Relay IN1 -> Arduino D7
- Relay IN2 -> Arduino D8
- Relay VCC -> 5V Power Supply
- Relay GND -> Arduino GND
- Relay NO (Normally Open) -> Circuit Load
- Relay COM (Common) -> Power Source for Load
3. SIM900A Module:
- VCC -> 5V Power Supply
- GND -> Arduino GND
- TX -> Arduino D2
- RX -> Arduino D3
Command List for SMS Control:
- 1234 RELAY1 ON -> Turns Relay 1 ON
- 1234 RELAY1 OFF -> Turns Relay 1 OFF
- 1234 RELAY2 ON -> Turns Relay 2 ON
- 1234 RELAY2 OFF -> Turns Relay 2 OFF
- 1234 TIMER1 ON -> Activates Relay 1 for 2 seconds
- 1234 TIMER2 ON -> Activates Relay 2 for 2 seconds
Cost Estimation (Accurate):
- Arduino Nano Every: Rs. 700
- SIM900A GSM Module: Rs. 750
- SRD-05VDC-SL-C Relay Module (x2): Rs. 150
- 5V 2A Power Adapter: Rs. 250
- DC Motor: Rs. 150
- SIM Card (with Recharge): Rs. 100
