using Cayenne for
lighting control, environmental control,
landscape irrigation and lighting,
security and access control
using mostly Esp12-e,
-and an Arduino.
…and perhaps a Pi or 3…
Let’s see how many devices I can get online at the same time.
I suppose I can make a standard sheetrocked wall section, and install 15 boxes…
and I’m gonna have to dedicate a WiFi Router
so I don’t have to re-program all the spiders.
Hmmmm. Presentation is everything…
Stay tuned.
(general introduction, overall experience with Cayenne, why did you create this project??)
…that makes my Cayenne WiFi Home pretty much out of the question… …JK…kind of…
(7) 4’ x 8’ panels,
to make (3) 4’ x 4’ room-etts, a 12’ x 4’ x 8’ tall pre-fab demo,
36 switches (4 per wall)
18 switched receptacles
3 fan lights
9 wall sconces.
electric door strike.
door mag switches.
6 motion detectors
(a teeny garage door opener?)
would make a good demo to showcase Cayenne.
That would cost about $500 in building materials (not including fixtures).
(9) pieces of sheetrock, $150
Only rock interior, leave other exposed so peeps can see wiring kewlness,
(32) 8’ 2x4s, $80
(5) 8’ 4X4, $75
50’ 14-2 and 50’ 14-3 Romex- $60
10’ SO 12/3 whip w/plug + 15amp Switch Fusetron
switches/receptacles/plates- $40 (100) electric wall boxes- $28
(3) ceiling fanlight mount $6
(3) ceiling fan lights (go crazy on this one…)
…wall sconces, floor lamps, I dunno…
how much stuff do you wanna switch in each 4’ x 4’ cubby?
Each one of my Avon devices can 3-way (2) lighting and fanlight circuits,
and add an additional (2) software/hardware switches.
The Allie units can half-switch all the 16" low receptacles.
…it would make a pretty demo
but I’m not gonna spend money on it…
sounds like a fun project, though…
(9) Avonelles
(12) Allies
(12) 3-ways…
12Vdc power supply
That’s $210 in PC boards.
About $500 in electronics parts.
This has to be the most active dashboard I’ve seen! True that it probably could not qualify for the grand prize. But the runner-up prizes it could most certainly qualify for!
…JK…kind of…
