💬 In Wall AC/DC Pcb (with Relay) for MySensors (SMD)

@Paul-Derbyshire - sorry, to be hones i missunderstood you.
Most SSR sold for arduino are P and not PL it seems.

"The light from the diode is beamed into a light-sensitive semiconductor that, in the case of zero-voltage crossover relays, conditions the control circuit to turn on the output solid-state switch at the next zero-voltage crossover. In the case of nonzero-voltage crossover relays, the output solid-state switch is turned on at the precise voltage occurring at the time."

hi, just an idea, do you think it is possible to add a current sensor to the PCB in order to add a power meter function to the node to monitor power consumption? say up to 20A

[sundberg84]

@Jose-Simoes - no clue about current sensors... sorry I just cant answer that at the moment.

@sundberg84 -hey, i was meaning something like the ACS712 Module, but add the ic to the PCB for better integration.

ACS712

Well, to safe space and meet my goal to be able to have it so small so it fits inside a wallsocket i have excluded all sensors and included the MysX connector. This way every user can add their own sensor.

Hi, @sundberg84
I'm really interested in this module. Maybe stupid question, but I'm very new with openhardware and would like to understand: if I will go and buy through the link provided (10xPCB for 15$), will I receive already assembled unit with all the parts, or I have to go and buy parts and assemble it myself?
Thanks & Regards

@Justas Hello,

yes you have to buy parts and assemble them yourself. 1.5$ by PCB is cheap, you can't have the components for this price ;)

[gohan]

@Justas
you get the PCB only, then you have to buy all the components and solder them on the pcb :)
If you aren't a lot familiar with soldering you could also evaluate Sonoff wifi relays ;)

[Justas]

Thanks, I also checked the parts list and found that total price is more than $14, so now I see how stupid my questions was ;)

[proddy]

and building it is 99% of the fun !

Very nice project. And it is so nice that you thought about the fuses for the power supply and the relais. :-)
I have two additional ideas:

• adding the ATSHA204 fo secure signing
• I could be to big to integrate but something like this (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1Bit-AC-220V-Optocoupler-Isolation-Module-Testing-Board-Adaptive-for-PLC/32754734564.html) would be great to detect the in wall switch state.

Great project, thank you for sharing. Searching for a power supply i found your project which seems to fit my needs pretty well. What do you think are the main differences to the AC/DC/Double SSD Relay by Aproxx (https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/ac-dc-ssd-relay). I am mainly interested in the AC/DC conversion part.Would like to hear your opinion on that.

[sundberg84]

@exilit - sorry my friend, I have not studied the AC/DC/Double SSD Relay by Aproxx very closely.
Mine is a bit smaller instead of 50x50 but he got 2 relays.

[exilit]

@sundberg84 Thank you for your reply. Do you see big differences regarding the safety?
As far as I see both projects use a slow blow fuse and a thermal fuse to protect the AC-side.

Sorry for digging deeper, but both projects look great. Yours seems to be better tested,
but the other one has two relays. Hard to decide, which one to use :-).

[sundberg84]

@exilit - I think we both origin from the original discussion about the HLK-PM01: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1607/safe-in-wall-ac-to-dc-transformers.
If you read this you can pretty much see everything in the PCB (fuses, varistor and temp fuse to protect the HLK module).

Hi @sundberg84 does it fit the fuga (scandinavian) wall socket? :=

[sundberg84]

@martin-nicolaisen - Im not familiar with the fuga wall socket.
I use standard round wall sockets (60cm). Can you point me to an image with dimensions ?

(60cm)

Wow that's quite a wall plug

[sundberg84]

@gohan - lol :)
60mm!!!!
