The use of silicone adhesive around electronics is not recommended since it emits acetic acid as it cures which will eat away at copper conductors. If you must use silicone find a source for silicone adhesive that is for aquarium construction. It has very little emission of corrosive off gassing.

Awesome project, but be careful with soldered wires in screw terminals. Under sustained pressure the solder deforms and becomes loose over time. Here in Hungary it is also against the code to solder any wires installed in buildings. It's a fire hazard.

6 seconds in and I'm hooked by that opener :D

Amazing project. I will do it myself

Very interesting the approach you took. But I will like to suggest a more usuable and simple product with the display and power monitor. Also you should take a look to the SIEMENS LOGO programable switch. Thanks for the video

This is awesome. I would recommend adding a battery keep the esp online for at least a few hours after power is turned off to be able to tell the difference between a bad wifi connection and a power-off event.

Fantastic! Just brilliant!

It looks nice but this design would probably not be anywhere close to being regulatory compliant here in the UK or anywhere which uses British Standards (e.g. BS1363) such as Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malta or much of Africa (e.g. Botswana). I do however think that you should've connected each breaker terminal via a busbar instead of a thick cable with the insulation stripped so that it can connect to the busbar but since you did it this way, you could've at least not left any bare metal exposed, i.e. it looks like some of the cables are not fully inside of the breaker. It might of also been worth only using RCD breakers for added safety and installing a socket inside the breaker board (like what is done with CEE 7/3 and CEE 7/5 EU [socket] standards) either connected to it's own breaker or an existing circuit...

Very ingenious. but do not try in the UK as it will not meet BS7671 wiring regulations and will invalidate your home insurance. It will also render you liable to prosecution unless you are an approved Building regulation Part P contractor.

The cables entering into the circuit breakers need to be ferruled. Good idea for a project.

Man you took this to while new level

It is mini SCADA programme for lighting and power distribution board including energy management and monitoring. Everything is right except standards,, workmanship and management the wires of control,communication and monitor module.Either there should be a seperate segment for ELV circuit or additional door for avoiding entanglement with LV wires.

This project was pure genius. So inspiring. Keep up the great work. Cheers. Oh can you recommend a book that deals with some of the design theories you dealt with here. Thanks.

I built nearly the same. One ESP board, one Max485 ic and a rs485 meter. A little bit of code and it works since one year 😊

I still don't understand much about electrical power, but I'm manufacturing a CNC Router, it still has the whole system from protection to electrical I am a system designer and developer for me it doesn't make sense to buy a bunch of equipment from different manufacturers to control a simple on and off and logic which is involved in protecting the electrical network and also protecting the CNC control electronics.... But I see that it is possible to do the same as you did in this video, of course adapting it to the universe of the CNC Control Box... .. I'll watch your video many times and see what I learn here on the channel to try to develop this!

Amazing project!!

thats so cool thank you i will try it

Good project! only one thing the wires of the proteccions are to small for the current of a house! you must use mínimum secction of 6mm2 for the bridges of the breakers.

The best Project

This looks very convenient and the design is very clean! I would recommend you only use it for emergencies as the GFCI breakers are not designed to trip very many times.

The Excellence Project

Great as a power monitor but why did you use the temprature sensor?

Tripping that CB that way is asking for trouble. Breakers have a purpose built device called a shunt trip that does this very thing. It would have been nice to power your ESP from the line side of your main so it stayed on all the time. Then you could add a shunt close which you could use to turn the breaker on through the ESP.

Awesome project maine

Ok, I know it is an old video but I have to ask - why did you cover the little glass fuses up? In case one goes off you need to take all down to figure out which one was the culprit.

Really cool project but it will be even better if you make a custom pcb

I have no idea which country you live in, but in mine it's not good practice to put low current hardware in the mains circuit breaker box. We rather use two separate boxes, one for the high current and one for the low current, allowing only low current probes to live in the high current box.

Superb no comments

People please do not do this, unless you want your house to burn down. Build whatever smart home shit you like, but NOT in your distribution board.

great work, i needed something like this in normal inverter to make wifi or bluetooth operate and monitor. can you help with that ?

Nice project, but i would NEVER install any low voltage sensible electronics inside the fuse box without proper insulating housing ... And hot melt glue / silicone "glue" is not a way to fix things, you need something more robust and durable. (Metal strips, screws ...) But working good for now, i am planning to implement some zigbee based monitorint for individual sockets / modules in our shop to monitor the power consumption of our fridges / freezers and also to check their temperature, and enable them as thermostats to precisely control their temperature as well. (And also to apply an automatic deicer function during the nights to get rid of the ice buildup in our showcase fridges)

Wire connections in screw terminals also should not be soldered.

Do you power the pzem module with 3.3V? Does this work well? I added a level shifter to 5V

The wire used to feed the circuit breakers is way too small. You will burn your house down if your not carefull

This creation is a fire hazard, life risk and over all a good idea with the worst execution possible

How did you connect you nodemcu with pc wirelessly ? Did you flash it using arduino OTA before doing this project ??

Nice idea , but with all the electronics , soldering , wires and possible getting something wrong + those kinds breakers you used as far as I know are not meant to be triggered repeatedly they are for residual current protection. As much as I love DIY this is one place I would go with something from a good firm like Sonoff , they have smart wifi breakers. And if you only need to measure and on/off the entire grid just get a smart breaker as your main breaker.

Excelente!!!...

Wow. Subscribed!!!

Love from India

I want to run a computer and refrigerator will a 5v relay be enough to handle?

3:41 hello, what application for making circuit like this ? thanks in advance

Hey , the mains cables along the bottom of the mcbs from RCD, was this for testing only, did you change to bussbar on proper installation, cables looked small

My GOD what county are you in? Love the IoT install but LV side needs a little work. Great concept though!

Good project! But safety switches we breakers???... The relay price is 10Eur, but the idea is interesting :)

While a nice idea, UK's 14th edition regs would have a fit that that!

Keep it up 😁

And no, they can not handle 2000 volts magically, with 2kV the voltage would easily jump from solderpad to solderpad

I am surprised how many free space is in a standard circuit breaker wall box... :)

а почему температура в доме всего 11 ° С ? экономите на отоплении?

Can you add more some tutorial about the wiring thanks

I understand from the comments there is a lot in this build that would notmeet BS7671. Would there ever be a case to install low voltage DC electronics in a domestic consumer unit? I’m thinking 12v doorbell transformers are OK so Is the problem just the way they are mounted in this build?

Спасибо за видео! Родной язык детектед.

One comment: When working on distribution panels like this, ensure you follow your countries regulations on electrical installations . You may not be able to do this legally.

I can't get ESP8266 Plugin installed in Arduino 2.1.0v any video for that setup?

Can this be modified for a 3 phase power supply ?

That is so unsafe in so many ways. You could have made a unit that plugs into your consumer unit using a contact transformer. And a relay to trip the RCD if you wish to. But what is the point of it all you can not switch it on again.

Mantaf.....mr

good job, thanks for sharing, but i wouldn't installing in distribution box.

I have a question regarding the power meter module. I have a problem when the voltage reading always increases to more than 250VAC after the device has been turned on for a few times. Where is the problem sir?

I like it thanks my dear

This is a really bad idea. You're using a safety device for a switch. Instead, use a contactor. And have the electronics in a separate enclosure.

Why is the mains voltage so low?

What song do you use?

Now switch all ON with the smartphone?

nice

How'd you make that webpage?

Nice

Great work !! I really liked your project idea and I am very excited to implement the project, Can you write to me all elements of the project pls ? because there is some element u connect in video isn't exist in the element list and circuit diagram . Waiting for your reply as soon as possible..

hi man how can i talk to you . i need some advices about my project

Great

how do you connect the bashbord to the website and what's it name the site ?

this o cool man..

is not bether do it in esphome softwaew side?

The project is only good for the little house, with little energy consumption. P.S. Despite living in US, this guy still has very strong russian accent :-)

May I ask which of The file is The code that needed to Be upload?

Can You sugest me a module or sensors through which i can mesure Voltage UpTo 300v 50Hz AC (Because in my house Volgate Rating 240v -- 260v ). I want to integrate with ardino/ esp32 .

Hello. It is very cool

Try getting your insurance to pay if you have any accident in the home. If your entire house goes up in flames you lose the lot as the insurance would laugh when they see this. Fun project sure, Illegal in every sense - Yep, Dangerious - Yep, (You have no way to issolate the mains coming into an electric box as you would need to pull the feed fuse out which your not allowed to do !)

Good idea. But wires were too small. Bare wires all over. You should have separate electronic parts from high voltage ac

Прикольная реализация, но тебе не кажется, что можно было бы сместить на DIN рейке все модули в одну сторону, а "умную часть" собрать в одну группу с противоположной стороны, а не "размазывать" по всему щитку? И, как мне кажется, не лучшая идея отключать электричество, провоцируя срабатывание автомата xD Когда делал автоматизацию своего дома, открыл для себя китайские корпуса на din рейку, есть как компактные, так и не очень, но главное, есть простые, которые содержат в себе только семисторы, реле или иногда просто макетную плату, на основе таких модулей сделал часть освещения "умным", а главное в общем наборе автоматов, почти не выделяется.

А есть отправка данных через MQTT?

How to connet web server.plz help me😥

Hello there...! I made this project, but i am getting problem in Light Off command ! Can anyone, please help me in this !

How to set API key in Coding please help me.

Why would you solder fuses?

Program masz do esp8266

can i get the proposal for this project?

Bad ass

Pls what's the equipment name and where can I buy all the access. Thank you

7:00 "... because I never trust devices that were build in China...". Do you say it for the UNI-T multimeter, probably the camera you are using to record, I2C Display, solder for soldering, the LEDs over your desk, the micro controller, maybe the mobile phone you use...?? xDD nowadays there is no way we can do some DIY without Chinese products!! :P Nevertheless good project!! was a good inspiration for me ;)

Please Help me to connect with web server

I can't recommend this at all. Not sure how the electrical regulations are in your country but here in Australia this would be a definite no go. Much of what you have done would be deemed unsafe and non-compliant.

This is cool and all but it's not legal to install in a distribution board in australia and even if you did without the consent of Ausgrid or Endeavour the moment one of their techs see it THEY WILL REMOVE IT WITHOUT TELLING YOU On top of that, you will get massive fines for interferring with the main distribution board since they don't understand arduino all too well in the call centre they will just take it as you were fucking around and when asked to explain it.... CAN YOU IMAGINE THEIR REACTION WHEN YOU TELL THEM "I Saw it on a You Tube video" LOL... yeah.. that's gonna go down well isn't it?

WOW, super illegal and unsafe, what a major fire hazard.... DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE! Takes a special kind of stupid to solder cable going into a terminal block or to hot glue exposed circuit boards in place shows you have no idea what you are doing...

That's awesome project i found all the files and circuit diagram but i can't find the lines of code where i put the name of Wifi and password ,... Please help .🤝🏻

Can i do this in coding in arduino sir?

I hope this dude isn't using this in his home

Исполнение нулевой шины не одобряю, остальное отлично.
