🚥 Wright Relay

A single controller connected by Web or USB.

This project has 2 parts:

• a required Slave sketch to control the relay with optional interfaces:

  • CLI
    • USB (CLI)
    • Serial (CLI)
  • API/html
    • Ethernet
    • WiFi

• an optional Master sketch for some powerful features driven by an ESP:

  • rich configuration portal
  • relay labeling
  • switching on Hotspot connection
  • multi-WiFi
  • Alexa
  • https

Slave sketch

On standalone mode, you can add an Ethernet shield or a WiFi shield.

Setup

Edit ./sketch_WSlave/_config.h

Commands

Standard no-REST routes:

• ?: /? version info

• #: /# number of relays if WS_VERBOSE = WS_VERBOSE_LENGTH

• $: /$ full status list of all pins if WS_VERBOSE = WS_VERBOSE_LIST

• read: /r/{relay_id} read relay state

• write: /w/{relay_id}/{value} set a state (0-1) to this relay (set a pin to OUTPUT mode)

• Read: /R/{relay_id} unlock the relay and read its state if WS_ACL_ALLOW = WS_ACL_ALLOW_LOCK

• Write: /W/{relay_id}/{value} lock the relay and force its state (0-1) if WS_ACL_ALLOW = WS_ACL_ALLOW_LOCK (set a pin to OUTPUT mode)

• map: /m/{relay_id}/{pin_id} map a relay to a pin controller

• nc: /c/{relay_id}/{is_nc} set a relay to NC mode (is_nc=1) or NO mode (is_nc=0)

• save (!): /! save the wiring into EEPROM, not the values ON/OFF if WS_STORAGE != WS_STORAGE_NONE

• reset (~): /~ reset the board if WS_ACL_ALLOW = WS_ACL_ALLOW_RESET

• sleep (.): /. sleep the board if WS_ACL_ALLOW = WS_ACL_ALLOW_SLEEP

Example to setup the relay #7 on the pin #42

• First, map PIN -> RELAY
• Then set the NC/NO wiring
• Last give the default value for activation

HTTP

• Go to http://webrelay.local/m/7/42
• Go to http://webrelay.local/c/7/1 if it's a NC wired (http://webrelay.local/c/7/0 otherwise)
• Go to http://webrelay.local/w/7/1 if you want switch ON now (http://webrelay.local/w/7/0otherwise)
• Go to http://webrelay.local/r/7 to check

Serial

• Send /m/7/42
• Send /c/7/1 if it's a NC wired (/o/7/0 otherwise)
• Send /w/7/1 if you want switch ON now (/w/7/0otherwise)
• Send /r/7 to check
• Tips: use / to wakeup

webApp

#define WS_INTERFACE WS_INTERFACE_ETHERNET (or WS_INTERFACE_ALL by default)

The Arduino boots on the DHCP. If #define WS_VERBOSE WS_VERBOSE_WEBAPP (or WS_VERBOSE_ALL by default), open a bowser on http://{ip} (416B).

USB

#define WS_INTERFACE WS_INTERFACE_USB (or WS_INTERFACE_ALL by default)

If #define WS_VERBOSE WS_VERBOSE_HELP (or WS_VERBOSE_ALL by default), write anything and the read the help

dependancies

software

• Arduino (for the required Slave sketch)
• EthernetBonjour if WS_BONJOUR_MODE != WS_BONJOUR_MODE_NONE

Master sketch

It will add Relay names, Alexa features, low power consumption. The Master communicates to the Slave by the Serial interface.

Setup

Edit ./sketch_WMaster/_config.h

Commands

Standard REST routes:

• GET /api/r get relay list

• GET /api/r/{relay_id} get state of a relay

• PUT /api/r/{relay_id} set state of a relay

Read the

webApp

Connect to "HelloWorld" WiFi (* you could change), Open a bowser on https://{ip} (645B).

The config portal is on https://{ip}/portal (1020B).

dependancies

software

• Esp8266
• ArduinoJson
• ESPAsyncWebServer (optional for faster HTTP server, not HTTPS)
• fauxmoESP (optional for Alexa)
• ESP AsyncTCP (optional for ESPAsyncWebServer or fauxmoESP)

Suggestions

• ☐ TODO: read states from calendar
• ☑︎ DONE: ESP as master controller: ESP interrupts the sleeping Arduino on Serial (RX3=PCINT[9] on Mega)
• ☑︎ DONE: ESP has no preconfigured credentials (from the firmware)
• ☑︎ DONE: if the ESP cannot join a known network, it starts as hotspot during a # seconds
• ☑︎ DONE: when the ESP as hotspot has a connected client, it switch ON the relay #0 (should be the home router)
