WoW! DrZzs himself! I'm honored! :) Unfortunately, I'm "too small" to think about mass production. Maybe someday. But if you'd like to solder it yourself, I'll be more than happy to send you a set of PCBs. You inspired me to start this channel, so this is the least I could do to thank you.

Definitely needs mass production! Also I would like a inputs only version. Great work!

I wondered if you had seen this.

Forgot to add: power consumption would be a nice addition ;)

Yeah, mass production is a great idea, but (there is always one of those) with mass production and sales comes product liability, UL and CE testing, etc., etc. Basically, if you buy one of these and install it, you could run into big financial problems. For example, house burns to ground (unless it's an underground WHobbit hole...then it just goes up in smoke) the insurance investigator attributes that fire to a non-UL/CE listed device and poof no insurance money for you....maybe

My pleasure! :)

Thanks for such an incredibly kind comment! It really motivates me to keep working hard :)

There were LEDs in the previous revision of the HUB. I removed them deliberately and consciously :) As you can see, the HUB is locked in the box at all the time. So I wouldn't have noticed them anyway.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome While that is obviously your decision to make and may be sensible for your use case it is definitely a deficit, when considering you are also trying to sell it to others. Personally I think it would have been a better choice to make the LEDs optional since it costs basically nothing to add the traces and not use them, especially if you had already created them.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome add a small header for them maybe that way if people want them they can add them with a connecter to mount an led to the case for example

@@SmartSolutionsForHome In all honesty, I would love to have more indicator LEDs. As from your video, you could have most behind the door, while "opening the door" would provide a much larger set of indicator LEDs. Having those really really really gives you a lot of quick "debug" options I would argue.

Sounds like some folks need to fork his files and add an led version

I'm glad you like it! And that you have new ideas thanks to this :)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome it really is a fantastic system that you've put together. I've currently got an M5stack board with a temp sensor attached running in my son's room; the board is great as it has a screen and a few buttons included, but I'd love to expand its functionality and have more sensors and switches running from it. I need to make it look nice so I can wall mount it too.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my mix of professionalism and humor :)

WoW! Thanks! :)

You're too nice! But I'm glad that you enjoyed that :)

Thank you! Glad you appreciate my human fallibility :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, mate! I'm glad you like my content! There will be a new video on my channel soon, I hope you'll like it too :)

I'm glad you found my video, too! :) If you're gonna have any questions, feel free to email to me, I'll try to help.

Just a question: why not putting the code on Github ? that should be easier than sending everything out via email and you will benefit from versioning, collaboration, wiki, etc. (also, I don't use Facebook so I can't see your page about this project unfortunately).

Thanks! As for the Github:I don't send these files manually :) They are posted on my website. It's easier for me to put it there and send the link in the e-mail. But I'll think about Github.

Thank you very much! And since you don't often make such statements, I'm even more pleased! :)

Thanks!!! :) If you will build it yourself and have any questions, feel free to write to me, I'll be happy to help :)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome Sure I will :) What is your experience with such compact placement of SSRs? Do you use them directly to power appliances or use them to switch external relays? If you power appliances via SSRs directly, is heat dissipation good enough?

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! And exactly that video is planned :)

Glad you like it!

Thank you! For now, I'm selling only PCBs. As of today, I've no plans to sell all ready-made devices. Unfortunately, the current prices and availability of components would make it very complicated. Nothing can be planned, neither the final price nor the completion date. And I would not like to disappoint anyone, so I won't do it at all, for now.

Agree, the old HUB looked more industrial and more complicated. It had a whole lot of unnecessary features. That was the whole clue of this migration, make it as simple as possible. I was a bit sad when I disassembled it .. But as a souvenir I've this video where I can remember what it used to be :)

Great question! It's important that you found it at all :)

Thank you very much!

I totally agree! :)

unless you didn't plan well, like in my home... then wireless is the only (wife-approved) option...

I get you.. It's better not to argue with "force majeure" :)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck building your smart home! :)

Hope it meets your expectations :)

Thanks!! :)

Thanks, Dave! :)

Thanks, Paul! :)

You are right, of course. I was in a bit of a hurry, hence such inaccuracies. Maybe I'll cut the plexi on the CNC, it'll be quite perfect then :) I'll show it on the community card if I manage to do it.

I never thought of it that way, but... I think there's something in it :)

Wow, thanks! It is definitely not the best! But it is (let me say so immodestly) quite good ;)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome my dream is to build my own house in the near future and have something like this in it but had not found a solution yet This sure checks a lot of boxes :) The problem now with my HA is that it’s mostly wireless stuff and it works good but there are still moments that lights won’t switch directly due to interference and I also want the possibility that if Home Assistant has an issue and is offline or something that the basic lighting still can function, and this can make that happen. In my current house it’s not doable to achieve this but in a future house it absolutely is.

Cieszę się, że Ci się podoba to "oczko" :)

I'm glad you like my project :)

Thanks :)

Hej, dzieki wielkie! Rozważałem użycie podstawek ale niestety na wysokosć się nie zmieściłem. Być może jeśli się zdecyduje na kolejną rewizję to bardziej z tym pokombinuję. Ja w poprzedniej rewizji przez 2 lata nie miałem problemu z nawet jedną sztuką. Być może miałeś pechową partię.

Thank you! I'm also waiting for MATTER. You hear more and more about it and it promises to be really good. Recently I was at Embedded World exhibition and a lot of producers had or will have something compatible with MATTER.

Thanks for the tip. I considered it, but... I didn't feel like doing it :P Assembly took me long, long hours. I had a bit of enough already.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome You can use just some isolation tape to indicate live wires + maybe brother laber maker to label them as "fazowy\live\hot" :D And yeah, Brother label maker, because Dyno paper now have DRM, so you need to buy paper from them on newer machines ^^

Thank you very much, Jammy! I appreciate it :)

I haven't heard the term "Pre-trolling", but I love it! :) I'm glad you like my video!

I don't know the SuperhouseTV's system. But I'll be glad to learn about it. Do you have a link to a specific video? There are a lot of them on his channel, and I don't know which one to watch.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome the two I would start with are "SuperHouse #24: Home automation system architecture" and "SuperHouse #25: Rack mount Arduino / MQTT light switch controller for home automation" from 2017. That was the first iteration of the system, it has now developed into so much more. The first version of the light switch controller, spawned a lot of discussion over on the Discord server, and that developed into a second version of it using I2C, which expanded the I/O possibilities. Then some very smart software people started getting involved (I was doing my own software version at the time, because I was trying to achieve something slightly different) and the idea of it just controlling lights expanded into other things like door switches, etc etc. The software kept developing to incorporate new switch types and sensors to the point it is now quite a robust system to work with the open source hardware SuperHouseTV developed. Several people have developed similar ideas but Jon's (SuperhouseTV) is the most complete I have seen. It is designed in such a way that you can use any front end you want. So if you prefer Home Assistant over OpenHAB then you can choose the interface you prefer. The system is capable of talking to virtually any device that uses MQTT to pass messages. As the idea grew other people started to build their own add-ons to the system, so the hardware side of things has plenty of options. The system is now called "The Open eXtensible Rack System", and if you do a search for OXRS Docs you will find out what the project is all about.

Dzięki, Łukasz! :)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome Jak (gdzie) zamawiasz te formy do padów ?

@@ukaszczempik1353 W JLCPCB tam gdzie samo PCB.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome Zauważyłem jak wyciągasz to z tego samego kartonu. Ale jak się nazywa ta usługa? Może to głupie pytanie ale na filmikach reklamowych tego nie ma, a z angielskiego jestem jak z językiem obcym 🤪

@@ukaszczempik1353 To jest tzw. "stencil". U nas na to potocznie mówią "sito" :)

Thank you. And as for commercialization.. maybe one day! The market for electronic components is too volatile. For now, I'm selling only PCBs.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome you could do a kickstarter campaign for funding and have a few thousand pf these made after you have ironed out the issues with the initial design. I would buy one and i know many more folks would do so as well.

Thanks, In this project, I didn't actually envisage more advanced light control options, but.. it can be done. Many pins of this ESP32 module are unused. So it's possible to add support for dimming, color temperature or full RGB. Of course, it would require a design modification, but it's feasible :)

Thank you so much 😀

I'm glad you like it! I'll definitely make a follow-up, but I can't say exactly when.

Thanks! Unfortunately, this device cannot "cut phase". The switching frequency is definitely too low. I don't use dimming in my home but such a device would be fabulously simple. It's a nice idea for the next device!

I second that!

I'm gonna tell you in secret (just don't tell anyone :) ) I'm designing a mod with a PCA9685 chip, which is perfect as a dimmer :)

@@SmartSolutionsForHome Amazing! :-) Can you combine it with the zero crossing detection to do trailing-edge mains dimming somehow?

I order from them quite often. So a bunch of boxes have already accumulated ;)

Thank you!

I don't think so, but thank you very much :)

Thanks! I've never used shelly pro switches, so I don't really know what they can do.

Thanks!

Thanks! There were several reasons, but it was overwhelmed by bitterness. In the previous video on my channel I mentioned all these reasons, and GPIO support is one of them.

@@SmartSolutionsForHome I will definitely watch those for the context. Again, excellent work.
