Bluetooth RGB Home Decor — Arduino Nano App-Controlled Lighting

An early creative lighting project where Parth used Arduino Nano, HC-05 Bluetooth, RGB LEDs, and a mobile app to control colourful home decor lighting.

Overview

Bluetooth RGB Home Decor was an early creative electronics project built by Parth in June 2018. The project used RGB LEDs, wires, an HC-05 Bluetooth module, Arduino Nano, a container, and a breadboard to create a colourful glowing home decor object. The video shows an RGB LED ring inside a handmade decor setup. The lighting is controlled through a mobile app that Parth created using MIT App Inventor / MIT App Developer. The project allowed different colour combinations and demonstrated how Bluetooth control could be used for interactive decorative lighting. This project is useful in the Early Work archive because it shows Parth applying electronics not only to automation and device control, but also to design, ambience, and creative home use. It reflects the habit of using available materials and technical curiosity to build something visually interactive. This project matters because it shows creative application of technology. At 14, Parth was already using Bluetooth, app creation, Arduino control, and physical materials to build interactive objects. It adds variety to his early work by showing that he was not only solving practical problems, but also using technology for creativity, design, and home ambience. This project is documented through a working video demo rather than a public code repository.

Problem solved

The project explored how a simple home decor object could be made interactive by adding app-controlled RGB lighting through Bluetooth.

What it does

The system uses a mobile app to send Bluetooth commands through an HC-05 module to Arduino Nano. Arduino controls the RGB LED ring, allowing the decor object to glow in different colours and colour combinations.

Contribution

Parth created the lighting concept, connected the RGB LEDs with Arduino Nano and the HC-05 Bluetooth module, built the app-control flow using MIT App Inventor / MIT App Developer, and demonstrated the working decor object on video.
