It is also possible to pair this RX module with more TX modules (up to a total of 20). Press and release the PAIR button of the TX module within 10 seconds, then LED D6 flashes for a while. Press and release the PAIR button of the RX module, D6 LED will then illuminate.
D1 ~ D6: Output LED, active high level output Toggle switch on the board: used to switch the output mode, LATCH is the latch mode (only press the button to change the output level), NON-LATCH is non-latch mode (press the button light will be on, and release the button, the LED of RX module light goes off after 350 milliseconds)
Output mode: latch mode or non-latch mode B1 ~ B6 buttons: Used to control 6 outputs of RX module, active low level MAX Transmission distance: 80 metres (open area) The self-lock/inching mode wireless switch has two power supply specification: 5V. Supported functions include remote on/off, timing schedules, device sharing, group management. Remote control with the EweLink APP for iOS and Android. Input ports: 6-channel key input, active low This simulates the press of the remote control button thereby opening or closing your gate or garage motor. When switched to the latch position the output pins will toggle their state when the corresponding input on the Tx module is triggered. When switched to non-latch the output pins on the Rx module will replicate the state of the input pins or push buttons on the Tx module. The Rx module also includes a mode toggle switch. When one of these channels is toggled the corresponding output LED and digital output pin on the receiver module will change its state.
The transmitter module has 6 independent channels that can be controlled either via the 6 built-in push buttons, or via the 6 digital input pins labelled B1 to B6. Once paired the receiver module will then only respond to a paired transmitter. When powered for the first time the modules must be paired using built-in pairing buttons on each module. The concept is that the MGC3130's "AirWheel" feature would allow the user to spin their hand in a circle, controlling the brightness of the lights like a knob.Īdditionally, since nearly none of the PIC's peripherals are being taken advantage of in this application, an Infineon microcontroller may be a more cost-effective solution for the simple tasks being handled by the PIC.This item consists of a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver module. Unfortunately a good deal of time was lost dealing with a "dumb issue" as noted above and this couldn't be finished. First and foremost is dimming, as this was the reason the optoisolator is present. There were a few features I wasn't able to add that I would have liked to, and may revisit in the future. The other challenge was designing a suitable electrode for the MGC3130, but I followed the application notes and it worked just fine. To fix Samsung Smart Switch not working, you can restart the app on both your devices or reinstall it on your phone/ computer. The single largest challenge in creating the OSS was a very silly one: I swapped two wires in a harness I built for debugging, and then went on to spend an entire day working on weird, otherwise inexplicable problems caused by it. Fortunately, it ended up being very straightforward.
I had never worked with high voltage solid state switching before, so the prospect of hooking up mains voltage to something I had designed was a bit daunting. The switching subsystem is placed on a daughterboard in order to isolate the dangerous switching voltages from the logic sections of the board, and to allow for incremental development efforts. At the same time, there is space within the device's footprint for future connectivity. It offers smart features in a completely self-contained manner, innovating in the field of user interaction instead of connectivity. Better yet, while not included in this demo, the GestIC technology allows for detection of many more complex actions, so in the future a user could move their hand slowly to dim the lights, or wave it in a circle to set a timer.īeyond its contactless user interface, the OSS explores another non-traditional concept for smart switches: unlike the bulk of commercially available products, the OSS has no networking. The Open Smart Switch breaks that barrier by allowing hands-free control, activated by the user waving their hand in front of the device. Most of the current offerings have one thing in common: they look and work like traditional rocker switches, and those that don't are still limited to controls the user has to touch. It's estimated that it will be a 116 billion dollar market by 2026, however, there has been little innovation in the smart switch category recently. Home automation is one of the fasting growing sectors in the world today.
