How to build your own DIY smart electrical socket
In this video I show how you can build your own DIY smart electrical socket using easily accessible components and tools. I built this prototype recently and it worked smoothly for my home and can generally control table lamps, small fans, TVs and heaters rated less than 10A. The plugs and sockets used are British but the same method used in this video can be applied for the American versions.
NOTES:
- When I wired the socket, it can be noticed that I used blue wires for both
the live and neutral terminals of the socket. This is not correct according to codes and standards and this was due to the fact that I was limited on coloured wires at the time. You will notice that in the wiring diagram at the end of the video, the correct wiring colours are used according to British standards.
- In the wiring diagram, the red, orange and black wires are for the jumper wires.
- The relay that I used in this project is generally rated for resistive loads rated less than 10A max. This means that any appliance or other inductive loads (eg. large fans, motors, pumps ect) that is rated higher than that will not work with this prototype. It will eventually cause the relay contacts to heat up because they will pass current more than they were designed to handle. If you want to control larger appliances, or continuously use inductive loads with it make sure to use a different relay module.
- In order to interface the ESP32 microcontroller correctly, I recommend watching my
tutorial on how to code and configure the ESP32 as well as communicating with via the Blynk app from your smart phone. Link: th-cam.com/video/JhUJ8Egnrnw/w-d-xo.html

      Elliot Hey there! Technically you can although I have yet to implement it myself so I might not be able to give you a full answer. I’m assuming you want to design your own embedded circuit boards for the transmitter and receiver? I can give you a few points that might help you: - You can use the same code that I used in the video but you would need to flash it to the Atmega bhip. - The Xbee shields would be redundant and you would need to directly wire the RX and TX of the radio with the RX and TX of the chip on a PCB board - You need a crystal oscillator chip, which is the same silver semi round chip on the Arduino board. The oscillator will feed the Atmega chip a signal at a certain frequency to execute the code. - If you’re using a 9V battery as your power source like I did, you need a voltage regulator to step down the voltage to 3.3V since the maximum voltage rating of the Xbee radio is 3.3V. Any voltage beyond that fed to the radio will burn it. Likewise for the Atmega chip, the maximum Input voltage is 5V

      @mujtech4887 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Michael Nathaniel Hi Michael. At that time, I encountered some issues when I used the hardware serial ports of the arduino (pins 0 and 1) with the XBEE shield. Hence I used the “softwareserial” library to configure pins 2 and 3 to act as TX and RX so that I can receive serial data from the XBee radios. With the softwareserial library, you can configure any digital pin on the arduino to function as TX and RX, similarly to pins 0 and 1 and in this case I used pins 2 and 3.

      Michael Nathaniel I still haven’t tried to send string data via arduino. From what you’re telling me, the numbers that you are receiving are the ASCI codes of the characters that are sent from the transmitter and it’s showing like that because you’re printing them at the receiver using “serial.print”. Perhaps if you change it to “serial.write” it might work?

      Probably a bit late on this but XBee is a radio transmitter. I don't think most computers have radio capabilities. So I suppose you could connect an XBee to your PC. Doesn't Arduino have Bluetooth? If not I'm sure there's a shield for that. I feel like that might work. But who knows. I'm curious what you ended up doing though.

    • @mujtech4887
      @mujtech4887 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pins 0 and 1 are hardware serial ports that can only transmit and receive to one device at a time. Since we are using the serial commands in this code, we are communicating the Arduino with the computer via these pins so we can't also use them to communicate it with the XBee radios. Hence, the digital pins are used. In the Arduino Mega however, you are given 3 hardware serial ports to choose from so you can use two ports at the same time without the need of using the digital pins like I did in this video.
