Full Power

Welcome to that huge Object-Oriented Arduino Sketch.

It is the elementary part of my home automation setup. I use it to control my wireless power sockets.

For more information visit the project description. This project is used in master_control!

Hardware

• Some esp8266 (ESP-12E) board
• FS1000A 433MHz transmitter
• RGB-LED
• Two normal LEDs (Rx/Tx activity)
• Four resistors, some wires...

The wiring is rather straightforward:

Features

While booting, the board loads the configuration stored in SPIFFS or it will create one with default settings.

It uses the config, to know which wifi to join. There it announces the included web server (e.g. device.local) via MDNS.

Visiting that webpage one may control the configured wireless power sockets and the included RGB-LED (now with fancy RGB value sliders).

The included shell waiting on the serial can be used to..

• change the configuration, store to or (re-)load from flash.
• dial or hangup wifi
• control power and/or led
• show statistics
• ...

But it is also possible to talk to the api directly, receiving a json response:

• Fade LED to red:

  curl device.local/light/fade/0xff0000
  

• Flash LED in green:

  curl device.local/light/flash/0x00ff00
  

• Fade LED to some random color:

  curl device.local/light/fade/
  

Colors can also be passed as decimal numbers (blue = 255), or in hex prefixed it with the #-sign.

But do not forget to encode it (blue = %230000ff).

• Switch sockets on and off by raw address:

  curl device.local/power/full/0110100100
  
  curl device.local/power/null/0110100100
  

If this address is stored in the config (family = 01101, switch = 00100),

it's name would become 4 (00100 == 4 decimal).

• Switch sockets by configured name:

  curl device.local/power/full/4
