Bluetooth Proximity Lock Kit with Arduino Uno + HC-05
Build a Proximity-Activated PC Lock with the Arduino Bluetooth Lock 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.
Imagine your computer locking itself the moment you step away and unlocking as you approach, all without touching a key. This kit lets you build a Bluetooth proximity lock using an Arduino Uno and HC-05 module, turning your phone’s signal strength (RSSI) into a keyless entry system. Whether you want to secure a dorm room workstation, a home office, or a lab desktop, this project introduces real-world wireless security in a breadboard-friendly format.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a functional proximity lock that controls a relay — connected to a PC lock mechanism or any electronic switch — triggered by your phone’s Bluetooth signal. As you walk away, the red LED glows and the system locks; when you return within range, the green LED lights and it unlocks. The entire circuit sits on a breadboard, giving you a visually clear prototype that demonstrates how RSSI thresholds translate to physical actions.
What You'll Learn
- Measure Bluetooth signal strength (RSSI) and set distance-based triggers
- Interface HC-05 module with Arduino for wireless serial communication
- Control a 5V relay to switch a high‑power load safely
- Design circuits with diodes, resistors, and LEDs on a breadboard

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 students building a computer science or IoT coursework project, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates preparing for Smart India Hackathon, and ATL Tinkering Lab members exploring wireless security. It also suits hobbyists at NIT, VIT, BITS, or IIT who want a weekend project that solves a real problem — securing a shared desktop without remembering passwords.
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?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with an AI companion that understands your exact circuit. You can also text photos to our WhatsApp support for human help.
Does it work with an iPhone?
The HC-05 uses Bluetooth Classic. iPhones restrict third‑party access to raw RSSI over Classic, so the project works best with Android. For iOS, consider our BLE‑based kits.
Can I use this to lock a physical door?
Yes. The relay can drive an electromagnetic lock or a solenoid. The kit demonstrates PC locking, but the same circuit connects to any door strike with an appropriate power supply.
How do I power the lock continuously?
The included 9V battery snap is ideal for testing. For permanent use, swap to a 9V DC adapter (not included) plugged into a wall socket near your door or desk.
HC-05 Bluetooth RSSI used as proximity — computer unlocks when phone is near and locks when away.
