At first I needed something simple with a web interface for reliably turning on/off a couple of mains sockets. A year after, the idea evolved into this: IoT Power Strip.
The NodeMCU based software implemented to fit the minimal set of requirements I visualized for such kind of thing:
So, if you have the similar list of requirements, welcome to my GitHub repositories:
The NodeMCU based software implemented to fit the minimal set of requirements I visualized for such kind of thing:
- * Wi-Fi shall be configurable through Web Interface (both Access Point (AP) and connection to another Wi-Fi network); Wi-Fi re-configuration shall not influence on mains sockets state; such a trivial thing like moving power strip from one place (with one Wi-Fi network) to another (with another Wi-Fi network or without it) shall not prevent re-configuring of it with the Web UI;
* The device shall work even without Wi-Fi network available (detect it during start up, and turn on AP where a smartphone can connect);
* Some functions of UI shall be accessible to admin only, some - to user (2 security roles); the credentials shall be configurable through Web UI;
* Controls for turning on/off shall be configurable through Web interface;
* Web IDE shall exist for quick fixing / small enhancements. Web IDE shall work without Internet access (intranet created by ESP8266 AP shall be enough).
So, if you have the similar list of requirements, welcome to my GitHub repositories:
