(33) Now you have to make some changes to this code. For example, in this code, you will see "WIFI_USERID" written in the eleventh line. You have to write the username of the modem or smartphone that you will use in the hotspot instead. Like my wifi name is My WIFI. So I will replace my WIFI_USERID with "My WIFI". And in the line below it, where "WIFI_PASSWORD" is written, you have to write the password of your modem or smartphone's wifi. For example, my WIFI password is ECCIRCUIT 123. I will replace "WIFI_PASSWORD" with "ECCIRCUIT 123". Along with this, you will see the "Username" written in the eighteenth line from above. Now you have to go to the home automation dashboard on the Adafruit.io website. Here you will be able to see a key sign on the top right side. Now you have to click on it. After clicking on it, a pop-up window will open in which you will see a QR code. Below that QR code, you will see two boxes.  In which your username is written in the box above. You have to copy it. And wherever "USER_NAME" is written in the code. Have to paste it  And below this you will see another box. Whose title is "Active Key". In that box, you can see the key written. Copy it. And in the program below the line "USER_NAME", where "AIO_KEY" is written. Paste it instead. Now your code will look something like this.

Note - WIFI_USERID, WIFI_PASSWORD, USERNAME, And AUTH_KEY are case sensitive 

Command -> Change WIFI_USERNAME in your hotspot name and Change WIFI_PASSWORD in your hotspot password. as well as Change Username in program From adarfruit.io And Change Auth_key in program From adafruit.io.

(35) Now, first of all, turn on your modem or smartphone hotspot. Whose id and password are entered in its code. Now you start your project. Now you will be able to see that a device has been connected to your hotspot. You can also watch it on the Arduino's serial monitor. Now you can turn your bulbs on or off with switches made on Adafruit.Io. Or you can turn the bulb on or off using the Google Assistant you have on your smartphone. But it is necessary to have the same Google Account signed in to your Google Assistant, which is signed up on your IFTTT. Now you have to follow the command given below to turn the bulb on or off with Google Assistant.

 

To turn on the first bulb, say             -> First Bulb on.

Speaking to turn off the first bulb      -> First Bulb off.

To turn on the second bulb, say         -> Second Bulb on.

Speaking to turn off the second bulb  -> Second Bulb off.

To turn on the third bulb, say            -> Third Bulb on.

Speaking to turn off the third bulb     -> Third Bulb off.

To turn on the fourth bulb, say          -> Fourth Bulb on.

Speaking to turn off the fourth bulb   -> Fourth Bulb off.
