Bird Call Identifier Kit with ESP32 + Relay
Identify Bird Calls and Control Devices Automatically with This ESP32 Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your interest in birdwatching into a hands-on AI project. This kit teaches you to build a portable device that listens for specific bird calls, classifies them using a trained machine learning model, and even triggers a relay to switch on a light, speaker, or data logger the moment a recognized call is detected. Ideal for nature enthusiasts, biology field researchers, and anyone exploring wildlife monitoring with technology.
What You'll Build
A voice-responsive wildlife monitor. The ESP32 captures audio through the high-fidelity INMP441 microphone, runs a keyword spotting model trained in Edge Impulse, and identifies bird calls like “koel” or “bulbul.” On detection, the OLED displays the species name and the relay module automatically activates — for instance, turning on a camera trap or a recording light. You can also voice-command “lights on” or “lights off” to control lab equipment hands-free.
What You'll Learn
- Train a custom keyword spotting model on bird calls using Edge Impulse’s free platform
- Deploy a TensorFlow Lite model to the ESP32 for real-time, on-device inference
- Interface an I2S digital microphone and OLED display for audio capture and visual feedback
- Control a high-voltage relay safely through voice commands, including flyback diode protection

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students diving into AI/ML projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building mini projects, and Smart India Hackathon teams working on wildlife-tech solutions find this kit a perfect fit. ATL Tinkering Labs and bioacoustics researchers at IISc or NCBS can also use it as a field-ready rapid prototype. If you’ve ever wanted to blend ecology with embedded systems, start here.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion walks you through every connection and code snippet. If you need a human, our WhatsApp support is just a message away.
Can I train the kit to recognize my own bird calls?
Absolutely. Edge Impulse lets you record or upload custom audio samples, label them, and retrain the model in minutes. The companion will guide you through collecting and uploading data.
Does the bird call detection work without internet?
Yes. All inference runs locally on the ESP32. You only need internet during the initial model training; once deployed, the device works offline.
How do I connect the relay to a light or larger appliance?
The kit includes 1N4007 diodes and wiring diagrams to safely control AC loads. The companion provides step-by-step connections for switching a bulb or a small fan, with proper isolation.
Wildlife Research — ESP32 runs Edge Impulse keyword spotting. Says 'lights on' or 'lights off' to trigger relay locally.
