👋 👋 👋 Are you interested in a cheap, opensource home automation project based on Arudino and JavaScript?
I am:
- a Master of Business Administration (MBA), an accountant and a tax advisor. (This sound funny a weird, I know, but this field requires the application of a lot of matematics, IT and creativity) 📈
- a C++ (microcontrollers) and JavaScript developer in frontend and backend as well 👨💻
- a certified electrician 🔌
- a certified PLC (programmable logic controller) engineer
- the founder of Project abrIoT, an open source building automation project aiming to introduce cheap but flexible home automation solutions to every households
I have experience in the following fields:
- Accounting and taxation 😆
- Home electricity
- Home automation and smart homes
- Industrial PLCs
- Arduino, JavaScript, HTML and CSS development, databases (time series and relational)
- Microelectronics (PCB) development
Arduino IDE and C++, JavaScript, HTML, Grafana, InfluxDB and SQL, Node-RED, MQTT and modbus protocols, PCB design
Please check out my latest relevant blog posts:
Project abrIoT is an open source building automation and smarthome project with a strong emphasis on energy saving.
The aim of the project is to:
- Automate your home ("Smartize")
- Optimize and lower your overall energy consumption (electricity, gas and water)
- Monitor, log and analyize your data
- Expand your home with extra features (e.g. remote controlling, voice recognition, AI)
The core of the project is to:
- Implement open source solutions
- Keep installation costs as low as possible
- Comply with EU standards
- Build a community
- Be open to industry standards (e.g. PLC technology, modbus, MQTT)
abrIoT is based on the following languages and solutions:
- Linux Debian www.debian.org
- Arduion IDE (C++ for microcontrollers) www.arduino.cc
- JavaScript, Node.js and Node-RED www.nodered.org
- Grafana www.grafana.com
- InfluxDB www.influxdata.com
- abrIoT is based on cheap MCU (microcontoller) and MPU (microporcessor) technology like the famous ESP8266 and EP32.
abIoT is also providing simple, cheap tested and CE certified electronics and pre-built distribution boxes which make possible to automate and monitor your home and open it to the net if required.
- Home control is based on abrIoT single-board-PLC-s (SBP) which can be programmed by Arduino or ControlIO (MS Visual Code) by using the abrIoT Arduino libraries (C++)
- Units are communicating via a modbus hierarchy which makes it possible to connect hundreds of devices and thousands of I/O ports
- Extra features like AI, voice recognition, MQTT connection etc. are based on Linux Debian which is run on a single-board-computer (SBC) e.g. RaspberryPi or Olimex A10
- Industrial connectivity is applied (MQTT, modbus) so all "gadgets" are connectable with other industrial grade appliances (e.g. PLC, HMI)
abrIoT Instruction List (IL) is a simplified version of the IEC61131-3 standard PLC language aimed to home automation. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_list
abrIoT IL works with abrIoT Single-board-PLCs (SBP) or with ESP8266 and ESP32 chipsets.
The ongoing energy crysis gives us a notable lesson: there is and there will be no more cheap energy in Europe. We have to learn how to be more effective. Let us give a chance to save as much energy as possible.
