ESP8266 module use in Switch Board Home Automation
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2015 5:41 amHello All,
I want to build a full home automation system with many modules communicating together and with a central node.For example a Board switch which connect to the electric board and perform on/off of load like A.C,bulb,geyser,fan etc.This could be more than 1 in an house which will interact with Main Board which is connected to wifi router.
Everything should be control from an remote application and instruction should go to Board switch from Main Board(controller). For example if I want to ON Fan from an remote application then this should go to Main Board and then from main Board it should reach to Board switch on which Fan is being controlled.
For this I should have 2 device 1)Main Board 2) Board switch which will communicate over some wireless technology. Please suggest which platform can be used to suit this requirement and also platform should be flexible enough to controlled more use cases in future.
For Board Switch I would like to go for ESP8266 module which will communicate with Main Controller Raspberry pi 2 or Ardunio Board.
is it possible that signal sent from Wifi from Main Board to ESP8266 module and on based on signal ESP8266 can turn ON/OFF relay.
is ESP8266 module support Zigbee protocol ?
Any help would be highly appreciated ?
