I made this project because it was tiresome to switch off the lamp while I was sleeping by a physical switch. I thought if I could just turn the lamp off by a clap, then it would be amazing.
Hence I made this.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
Acoustic Event Detection
Clappy is a hands-free switch that toggles appliances based on the rhythmic sound of human hands.
- Sound Sensory Gain: Uses a Microphone module with an adjustable gain. The Arduino's ADC monitors the analog peak. A "Clap" is identified by a sudden, high-dB spike above ambient noise.
- Double-Clap Logic: To prevent false triggers from speech or ambient noise, the code requires two distinct spikes within a specific time window (e.g., 200ms to 700ms apart).
Power Stage
- Relay Isolation: The Arduino triggers a 5V Relay Module (Songle) to switch 220V/110V room lamps.
- User Feedback: Includes a small status LED that flashes when a valid sound peak is detected, helping the user calibrate their clap distance and volume.
