Smart Lock System

A comprehensive smart lock system using Arduino and ESP8266, featuring a web-based interface for management and logging. This system can be controlled via the Blynk app and supports unlocking through NFC and RFID.

Features

• Web Interface: User-friendly web interface to monitor the lock system and view logs.
• Arduino and ESP8266: Integration with Arduino for controlling the lock mechanism and ESP8266 for Wi-Fi connectivity.
• Blynk App Integration: Control the lock remotely via the Blynk app.
• NFC and RFID: Unlock the system using NFC and RFID technology.
• Logging: PHP-based logging of access attempts, including successful and unsuccessful unlock attempts, and activation times.
• Notifications: Receive notifications via the Blynk app, email, and SMS for security alerts during unauthorized access attempts.

Project Structure

• index.html: The main web interface.
• lock_arduino.ino: Arduino code for controlling the lock mechanism and integrating NFC/RFID.
• lock_esp8266.ino: ESP8266 code for Wi-Fi connectivity and Blynk integration.
• log.php: PHP script for handling access logs.
• Logs.css: CSS file for styling the logs page.
• Logs.js: JavaScript file for dynamic functionality in the logs page.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Arduino IDE
• ESP8266 Board
• NFC/RFID Module
• Blynk App (available on iOS and Android)
• Web Server with PHP support

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/smart-lock-system.git
   cd smart-lock-system

Upload Arduino Code:

Open lock_arduino.ino in the Arduino IDE. Connect your Arduino board and upload the code. Upload ESP8266 Code:

Open lock_esp8266.ino in the Arduino IDE. Connect your ESP8266 module and upload the code. Set Up the Web Server:

Copy index.html, log.php, Logs.css, and Logs.js to your web server directory. Configure Blynk:

Download and install the Blynk app from the App Store or Google Play. Create a new project in Blynk and add the necessary widgets for controlling the lock. Note the Auth Token provided by Blynk and update the lock_esp8266.ino file with this token. Set Up Notifications:

Configure the Blynk app to send notifications. Set up email and SMS notifications for security alerts in the Blynk app or your server. Usage Access the Web Interface: Open your web browser and go to http://your-server-address/index.html.

Monitor Access Logs: View the access logs by navigating to http://your-server-address/log.php.

Control via Blynk App: Use the Blynk app to remotely control the lock.

Unlock with NFC/RFID: Present an authorized NFC or RFID tag to unlock the system.

Receive Notifications: Get alerts via the Blynk app, email, and SMS for any unauthorized access attempts.
