Esp8266 Introduction: This is WiFi serial transceiver module, based on ESP8266 SoC. ESP8266 module is a TTL “Serial to Wireless Internet” device. Providing your microcontroller has the ability to talk to a TTL serial device (most do) you’ll be in business. It is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a […]
Home automation is a term used to describe the process of automating certain tasks and devices around the home. This can include tasks such as turning on the lights when you enter a room, or setting the thermostat to a certain temperature. Home automation systems can be as simple or as complex as you like,

In my last tutorial I created a NodeMCU based Duino Coin Miner. It is an awesome little miner that sits on my desk and mines few cents a day. However, adding these miners to my home network choked my WiFi router. Home Appliances and Smart Devices connected to the router constantly started dropping off. To

A couple of years I embarked on my own home automation project. It started off by building a server controlled 433 MHz transmitter build with an Arduino to switch lots of cheap PT2262 based remote switches. Later I added an Arduino based receiver for my weather station, hooked up the control contact of my EV
Some time ago, I tried to make an “Instructables Hit Counter” using the Instructables API, and an Arduino Uno with a wired network shield. However, with the limited RAM of the Arduino Uno, I was unable to get the system to work. A while ago, I noticed a similar project done by diytronics using a NodeMCU. This was just
Electrical engineers from the University of California, San Diego recently designed a new portable chip that consumes 5000 less power than the Wi-Fi radios that we have today. The new chip, which is smaller in size compared with a grain of rice, is said to be ideal for IoT devices, smart home setups, and wearables. With just 28 microwatts
NEW CHIP BRINGS ULTRA-LOW POWER WIFI CONNECTIVITY TO IOT DEVICES. Continue Reading
