Since childhood, I always wanted to try my hands on electronics. Recently I bought the Arduino and started exploring it. In this process, I got to know more about Light Dependent Resistors (LDR). Somehow, I stumble across this idea. Basically, it’s an electric sunflower which does the opposite of actual sunflower. It points to the […]

OK So my third Instructable and here we’re dealing with another Sonoff device, the original Sonoff WiFi smart switch. Theses devices are again based around the ESP8266 and are easily hacked. The devices can switch up to 10A @ 240V so are ideal for switching lights, TV’s, games consoles etc. Please don’t try running a

There are some great hackable devices in the SONOFF range such as the original SONOFF switches, the Slampher and the SONOFF Luxury wall plate which is the subject of this instructable. These devices are based around the ESP8266 or ESP8285 WifFi modules and are easily hackable. I’ll only cover here how to convert a wall

Before describing how the automated system functions, it is important to describe the science of snowmaking in general and to define a few key terminology that will appear often in the remaining sections of the text. Although the science of snowmaking is complex, for the purposes of this study, just a quick summary is required.

Introduction: On one of my weekly pilgrimages to Lowes (as any devout Kansan does), I found a sad little plant in the Gardening Department: a Janet Craig Compacta. The poor little guy looked lonely and dehydrated. We clicked right away and immediately I knew I had to take him under my wing. There was one

In my previous project i have made an infinity gauntlet that control a light switch. I wanted to use six stones and each stone can control appliance, door lock, or lighting.So, I made a home automation system using infinity gauntlet. In this project I used the RF24Network Library, which enables to build a wireless network with many

HRV Arduino Controller with Air Economizer So my history with this project is I live in Minnesota and my circuit board fried on my LifeBreath 155Max HRV. I didn’t want to pay the $200 for a new one. I always wanted something with an air economizer since our springs and falls here are perfect times
