Home Automation Power Socket

Hello,

I have added a basic lua script to the list of files for the project. I also added a few instructions on how to flash the ESP8266 and how to load scripts using ESPlorer.

I have a lot of work at the moment and I am away from home during the week meaning that the updates of the project are not coming as often as I would like. Sorry about that.

Have a nice weekend !

Hello,

I have updated a few things in the project page :

• Added component list and their Digikey reference
• Added details about AC/DC converter, SSR and ESP8266
• Added Eagle files for Schematic and PCB
• Added NodeMCU firmware

I also did some power consumption testing this weekend and the average consumption is about 30mA (see picture in the gallery) when updating a server every minute. This makes a power consumption of about 150mW. The power eating component is the ESP8266 when starting and making/receiving requests. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope and I can't see the "pulse" length when the module sends an HTTP request but it is so short that it should not affect the average that much.

I will keep adding details about components as well as files in the next few weeks.

Thanks for following !

Hello Everyone,

I have been working on this project for a while during my free time and I am close to a final product. The last PCB I have designed requires some tweaking but nothing too complicated. I have all the documentation I have created during the process and I will make it available for everyone by updating this project page regularly.

Thanks for following this project!
