SSR-100DA do not exist in oficial fotek datasheet.
Tha bigest is the 70DA, but as all of them have allready the zero cross
thriger incorporated. No need to check ac line. Just output a slow ( 2s ,
0.5 hz ) pwm signal.
Not all firmwares have all the opions compiled in. You may need to bulid
one yourself. Gitpod is way easy.

… I'm trying to create an DIY pool controller to command the pump/heater and
monitor/automate from Home Assistant.
Using an ESP8266 will have the following features:
- power dimmer (with SSR Fotek SSR-100DA and Zero Cross detection
using octocopter) - for a 3kw electric heater that I want to modulate power
based on Solar production
- power monitoring (using PZEM-004T module)
- temp sensing (using DS18x20)
- On/Off plugs (using relay board)
- Tasmota configurations in pictures
Settings:
- counter 4 is enable and reading 100Hz (rectified mains, checked with
oscilloscope)
- Tasmota sensors build version 14
- no other commands issues in Tasmota
I have the following questions:
1. The dimmer dos not work, (tested with an 170W incandescent bulb)
- if so99 is disable then bulb is pulsating when the dimmer slider is
anywhere from 30% to 99%, below 30% bulb is off, above 99% bulb is on
- if I enable so99, then the temperature sensors are not shown in the
interface, and the bulb is on at 100% brightness at max position of slider,
bulb is off if you move the slider anywhere in the range.
2. Is there an incompatibility for so99 command and ds18x20 ?

Can you do a pwm 1 instead of 4. the dimmer uses always counter4 for the zerocross as shown in documentation. You can test the dimmer working properly by connecting an OLD light. Please no led. I used this either for development. I am not aware of sideeffects between ds1820 and the dimmer , but also never tested. |

I already tested all combinations that I can think of, the PMW 4 was just left from one of the tests, is now back to 1.
is there a way I can delay the PMW signal sent but still keep the zero cross reference so I can match if with the zero cross of the SSR? |

I have the counter 4, that is an octocopler with the rectified mains frequency. |

I don’t think you are talking about the same thing. Simply put: to make sure to avoid bad side effects like electromagnetic noise you need equipment that is much more expensive than the few cents you save by using the last few kWh for pool heating. Zero crossing is only near zero crossing and real world resistive load always has a capacitive or inductive component. These add up to non bearable levels in the kW range and to counter them you need measuring devices to fine tune more complicated circuits. Not practical for a self made excess energy pool heater. |

PWM is not restricted to 100 or more htz. I have a control of 16kw heater
with a 2 seconds pwm generated with a 555. As the SSR is zero cross
triggered you get what is called whole cycles control.
It would be wonderful if Tasmota pwm could be set to very low freq.

Yes, technically you *can* switch kW loads with PWM, but for good reasons
you won’t.

Since you have the opto hooked tho a counter, may be you could tourn the
power on every 1000 count and off at a desired proportional count.

ok, looks that this is way more complicated than I expected. |

It will do the same , turn on the triac a % of time.

What will be the best technology to do this? TRIAC, SSR, Voltage regulator
prebuilt that I can control with Tasmota.
I do not need for the adjustment to be linear, if I have positions of
500W, 1000W, ... 3000W. I can still only consume the excess solar.
Can I just use something like this? LINK
