Marco's Power Socket
01/18/2015 at 09:58 • 2 commentsOne of the best features of Souliss is the flexibility, so that you can distribute your nodes over the home. Marco has build a set of Power Socket, an all-in-one device that plugs directly into a power socket and give control over Souliss. Similar to WeMo, but cheaper.
The LED gives indication on the status and on the left side there is the input plug.
Inside and Arduino, an nRF24L01+ radio with a small 220 VAC/ 5VDC power supply and a relay with a small circuit to drive it.
The PCB is handmade and straightforward, the input 220 VAC supplies the PSU module and then goes through the relay to give power at the output socket, so that you can control this socket and power on and off anything (have care for the maximum current of the relay) attached to.

Arduino, Souliss and openHAB empower this home
12/14/2014 at 11:05 • 0 commentsThis picture shows the cabinet that control most of the automation of the Fulvio's home, nodes are interconnected in RS485 and then join an openHAB server via Ethernet.
Nodes runs Souliss that cares for networking and execution of logics, those are locally executed and doesn't depend on openHAB.
