Light/heating control

Submitted by Guest on Tue, 04/02/2014 - 13:33

Hi All,

 

I'm new here, just wondering if I can control appliances from EmonCMS. I'm running my own EmonCMS installation on FreeeBSD. I have a NanodeRF with multiple TinyTX sensors and with some RF switches.

My plan is to create an input for the state of a switch (0 or 1), then I would be able control the value from the dashboard with a button. As the switches are 2-way capable, in case I turn the switch on manually, it will send a packet to the NanodeRF and with that, the value for the button will be changed on the dashboard also.

 

Does anybody tried something like this? Will it work? (For the RF I need to modify the sketch for the nanode, but that's not a problem.)

 

Regards,

Brucez

Typing "emoncms control module" into the search box (top right) would be a good place to start...

Ah sorry. I didn't even know that it is the control module I need to look. :)

Thanks!

OK, It just turned out, that for using the control module, I need to have EmonCMS installed on a Raspberry. :( Anyway, I'll post my results.
