CONVERT A 20 ROUTER TO HOME AUTOMATION GATEWAY FOR IOT DEVICES

CONVERT A $20 ROUTER TO HOME AUTOMATION GATEWAY FOR IOT DEVICES

WiFi based home automation products are cheaper compared to ZigBee or Z-Wave products, but the downside is that WiFi devices need an internet connection to perform their function. A lot of those IoT devices don’t just communicate on your local network, they also talk to the outside world via the internet. IoT devices like simple smart plugs, sensors, and all kinds

Night Light Saver V3.2 PIC12C508

Night Light Saver V3.2 (PIC12C508)

Introduction It’s time for 8-pin microcontroller Microchip PIC12C508, the SAVER V3.2, my latest design of a device that turns a night light on and off everyday. The circuit uses only a PIC12C508 8-pin CMOS micontroller and a small triac, MAC97A6. The Saver V3.2 also demonstrates the use PCW PIC C Compiler.   Circuit Description The
