ESP-12 PCB

Find the attached for the Schematic of PCB. Have included the files for Laser printer Toner Transfer method.

https://www.instructables.com/id/PCB-ETCHING-TONER...

The above instructable will guide to etch a PCB.

I have broadened the tracks for easy etching.

Solder the components.

LED DRIVER

Attached schematic, soldered on a dot board will route 5V to LED strip when 3.3V signal from ESP8266 is received by the optocoupler.

POWER SUPPLY

For powering the setup, I took a old Nokia charger, break open it and took the power supply board. Soldered wires for 230V and placed berg strip pins for 5V output.

RELAY BOARD

Its cheaper to buy a readymade 5V optoisolated relay board. I had one, which I made long time back.

Thanks to ESPEASY firmware, which relieves me from Arduino coding.

Below is the step by step procedure to load the firmware easily into ESP8266.

Depending on the enclosure, cut it to place the female socket , etched ESP-12 PCB and LED strip in front.

I have placed the DHT11 sensor and Bypass flip switch at the side of enclosure.

Have drilled a 7mm dia hole to pass the DHT11 wires.

On the top a 3 core wire with 3 pin socket connecting the enclosure through a cable gland.

Place the components suiting your enclosure.

Connect using dupont female to female wires wherever berg strip pins has been used.

Make sure to use a standard wires for AC

Use wago 2 way connector for AC source, Relay connection, Flip switch connection, 230V to 5V. As the wires are relatively thin I have inserted 2 wires in 1 way of the wago connector.

Neutral is screwed to to female socket and 230V to 5V also screwed to the same female socket where there is enough room for it.

GPIO 13 of ESP-12 goes to DHT11 using dupont

GPIO 12 of ESP-12 goes to RelayBoard using dupont

GPIO 14 of ESP-12 goes to LED Driver using dupont

DHT11 is powered using the output from ESP-12 as it operates on 3.3V

Relay board and LED Driver is directly powered by 5V from the charger module.

I have attached the HTML file to view the TEMP, HUMIDITY, operating socket and emergency LED.

For first boot setup the ESP-12 as per below link instructions

https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEa...

By default attached HTML IP Address is set for standalone mode. This has to be changed if ESP is being connected to a router.

Since its an IOT device, when connected to internet router, set the device to same IP always when more devices are connected (this can be done is router config page) and input that IP in the HTML editor (Notepad) of the attached file. Eg. Replace 192.168.4.1 to 192.168.1.xxx (whatever)

Follow this step and add DHT11 sensor info to ESP-12

https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/DHT11...

After connecting as per previous step before giving 230VAC, have connected 5VDC to DC pins to check the behavior and amperage.

Later connected to AC power supply and tested with the AC LED LAMP.

Then test the onboard LED.

With the use of third party application Battery Deley and Curl command line automatically turn off the socket when battery level reaches 90% and turn on the socket when battery level reaches 16%.

You may input your own range.

Attached zip is preconfigured for my IP address just replace the IP address to your ESP IP address in BatteryDeley.ini file.

Similarly apps like Tasker, IFTTT for android can do the same for Android smartphones.
