Application to get information from and send commands to my home appliance control system devices
Accesses at the moment 3 devices in my home appliance control system
- Solar panel monitor (Arduino Yun)
- Security system (ESP8266)
- Aircon control system (ESP8266)
Solar Panel Monitor with Arduino Yun, current sensors and WiFi module to transfer data to a PC or Android device
- Uses current sensor to measure output of solar panels.
- Optional additional measurement of luminosity.
- Optional additional measurement of in/output to electricity grid
Security system based on ESP8266 module with Android devices as monitoring system
- Uses PIR sensor to detect measurement.
- Relay to switch on external light.
- Light on time 2 minutes, extended if PIR sensor is re-triggered
- Light on depending on environment light measured with LDR resistor
- Sends intruder alarm messages over local WiFi per UDP and over Internet per Google Cloud Messaging
Remote control for air con using Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 modules
- Switch on aircon if solar panel production is exceeding house consumption by 200W to avoid sending back energy into the grid
- Enable control of the aircon with any Android device
- Schematics/Breadboard/PCB files for all devices are in the subfolder Hardware
- Source code for Android is in subfolder app
- Source code for Arduino Yun is in Github repo Yun-spMonitor
- Source code for ESP8266 modules is in Github repo Yun-spMonitor
