Wow! I need this! Lets talk about mass production.
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
You want to thank us?! No man, we need to thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure! :)
Absolutely incredible. Really looking forward to the HA integration. Its given me lots of ideas about creating an ESP32-based hub for each room!
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.
The level of technical execution and then video production on this channel are amazing, and way better than many other channels!
This channel just showed up in my feed today for the first time, after years of watching YT videos. I'm not sure what is wrong with the YT algorithm, but this channel should be getting 100x more views!
Thanks for such an incredibly kind comment! It really motivates me to keep working hard :)
This is the first video of yours I have seen and it is great! The project was amazing and you have a great mix of professionalism and humor. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my mix of professionalism and humor :)
Sebastian this is brilliant! Especially the modularity of the components, which make it so much more practical.
This is the first video I've watched and have subscribed due to your excellent work!
Dude! This is crazy. I'm throughout impressed about the really amazing modular design, meticulous details about power management and connectivity and amazing execution.
It's not often that I see a genius and you are definitely one!
You're too nice! But I'm glad that you enjoyed that :)
Hi, impressive PCBs and assembly in this small package. The only thing missing from these designs are LEDs for each input / output. I work in BMS (Boulding Management System), something like SmatHome but for entire factories and large buildings. And the LEDs for the IO make diagnostics much easier if something is malfunctioning.
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
Wow, pretty impressive and congratulations. I especially liked the fact that you admitted the mistake regarding the cover not fitting at the end. We all makes mistakes and it feels very human (and unscripted) when someone admits this on a video that they've uploaded themselves. Fantastic project!
Thank you! Glad you appreciate my human fallibility :)
What a masterpiece you have made! Impressive!! Would love to make one for myself now!
its a privilege to watch a master at work
WoW! Thanks! :)
Wow, I just remodeling my house and replacing all wires I need one of this. Great work 👏
Pretty dope, i'm glad to see someone already made what i was thinking doing for some time but never had the time.
OMG. That project is amazing.
Just less than a couple of months ago I was evaluating options to manage all the relays and inputs for a future home projects.
I was surprised by the lack of options. Either there were enterprise PLCs costing thousands of dollars and requiring proprietary soft to configure or just simple DIY devices a-la simple relay board connected to raspberry pi via Arduino. And most of those devices are not even din-rail mountable!
Additionally to that, I'm really addicted to esphome. The ability to program simple local automation but leave connectivity for home assistant is a blessing.
Looking at your hub, I feel that it checks all the boxes I was looking for.
Amazing work, cannot wait to build or buy that.
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?
This is damn impressive. Wish I had the time to implement something like this. Nice work!
You Freak!!! That is the most enjoyable smart home video that I have watched. I stuggle with soldering basic wires, what you have done is truly amazing. Congratulations! And thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am so glad I found this video!!! I was planning to do a project just like this when I build my new home in a year or so. I was thinking an esp32 in each room to control it. It is nice to find that a lot of work has already been done on this idea. Maybe I will video it and post so you can see this type of system in a new home build.
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.
Wooooowwwww, you leave me without words!! This is AMAZING 👏🙌
All I can say is that you made my dream smart home!!! I wish one day I can get to that!
Dude, I love your content. After coming upon your content today, I can't stop watching your videos. It will be exciting to see what you have up next. Good luck Sebastian.
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 :)
Thanks for posting this. I never knew this existed so I subscribed. I like his video style and th commitment to home automation. I'm VERY impressed.
BTW, Dramatic tweezer cam was great!
Awesome, thank you!
Just went over your homepage description. Awesome! Really awesome. And that's a statement you won't hear very often from me! :D Keep on rollin and thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! And since you don't often make such statements, I'm even more pleased! :)
Congratulations on completing your ambitious project.
Impressive stuff will look forward to some more on this although i doubt i would ever goto this kinda length i still find it interesting to see how its all put together.
Fantastic and outstanding work👌 I wish I could do the same system to my house. I am also very much the same as you, old school electrician and a hard-wired, oriented person 😅 Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Keep up the marvellous work 👍
Awesome project, nice work. I really like the extention part, well thought of!
Glad you like it!
I usually don't comment videos at all, but I just wanted to stop by and say what a great job sir! congrats and thank you very much for sharing it (and making it opensource). Well done!
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.
Coś pięknego. 19:52 Mrugające oczko dodaje +1 do oceny. 11/10
Cieszę się, że Ci się podoba to "oczko" :)
Very impressive project and great video to describe it. Next to the project itself there must quite the work in the video as well. Would love to see another video about your home set up, on which sensors and devices you have connected.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! And exactly that video is planned :)
Excellent work! Bravo.
This is like next level DIY Home Automation.
Excellent, I've been waiting for this video.
Hope it meets your expectations :)
Amazing work. Hopefully something like this will be available to purchase soon.
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.
Wow! This so cool. Thanks a lot, try to do that!
Wow you are improving your project. 🚀
Wow that is impressive. I am busy building my own wired smart home. I most definitely gone check out what you created (and will create) Cheers!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck building your smart home! :)
Bazylion 😂 Love the new one, but the old one looks more industrial 😃 Really fun and interesting project! Must feel a little sad to remove the old one, even though it is crazy fun with something new that you also created? Can't wait to see more! 😃
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 :)
Bardzo fajny projekt. Schludnie i profesjonalnie wykonany. Tez podobnie mam zrobiony w swoim domu, ale nie tak profesjonalnie. W dodatku na Domoticz.
Jedna sugestia, przekaźniki dałbym w podstawki. Aby dało się je wymienić w prosty sposób. Ja mam akurat te chińskie moduły przekaźnikowe i już dwa razy wymieniałem przekaźniki.
W dzisiejszych czasach trzeba być programistą, konstruktorem, elektronikiem, elektrykiem, umiec drukować w 3D itd… brawo ty 👍
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.
You're drink MATE!!! sólo por eso ganaste un suscriptor argentino (además de tu excelente trabajo) Congratulations!
Tidy and well thought out solution, subscribed 👍
Thanks for sharing this. It’s amazing
you do it perfect....go on👍
This is a seriously nice project. Why have I only just found your channel? :)
Great question! It's important that you found it at all :)
Love the idea. great video i have somthing similar in my pipeline. In few years..
Exceptional design, implementation, and video. Kudos
Thank you very much!
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
Super sprawa, jest podziw.
Very nice video, TNX.
Allot of time and effort has gone in to that. Well done ✔.
Thanks, Paul! :)
Thats some impressive compact wiring!!
Thanks!! :)
Шикарно, красавец !!!
Saw this on fb, this is cool...
Absolute legend. Nice one
Hello. I love your videos!
Omg best home automation setup seen ever!!
Thx for sharing this Amazon project!!
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.
Impressive work !!!!!!!
Ive been looking for a smart home with nuclear power plant integration, thanks for this video
Szacun! Nie wiem jeszcze co udostępniasz ale dokładnie tego potrzebowałem... Masz kolejnego fana!
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" :)
On the copper-thing: Fiber is acceptable, too :-)
And yes, a wire is almost always preferable.
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" :)
Amazing !!
YOU are so AMAZING, thanks for sharing it...👍👍👍...love it...
I'm glad you like my project :)
I loved the build. A little bit of edge trim around the hole in the cover could clean that up nicely.
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.
cant wait for the home assistant video
Really Good job. In the USA unless it is UL listed - no go, as well as wire colors. Very clean install. (Jealous). Wanted to do the same but waiting for MATTER to be completed and generally I prefer inbox controls like Shelly's. But if you don't like any switches in the walls - your solution is the way to go. [Also makes me think of so many stupid custom hacked commercial installs with PLC's and a proprietary software + no din mounting]. Thank you for sharing.
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.
This video was amazing, i enjoyed it a lot and my mind is running wild with all the possibilities, but the most amazing thing about the main module as a platform is that you could design different expansion modules for all the nice stuff everyone is asking about in the comments; dimming, color temp or full RGB and so on.
Excellent project; i will be following your channel.
I did something similar 10+ years ago. Actually couple automation islands like this interconnected with a ring rs-485 bus. Since the creation of ESP8266 such a setup makes no sense at all in a home environment.
It is much quicker and cheaper to use local control loops using Shelly actuators (dimmers, relays etc.) and deploy redundant Wi-Fi network (two routers with mosquito mqtt brokers and virtual ip failover using vrrp/keepalived).
Such decentralized setup is relatively inexpensive and reliable as it has no single points of failure regarding direct control (e.g. switch to light bulb).
You can even live without the Wi-Fi redundancy - in case of failure / downtime / upgrade you lighting still works. Every married man should understand the benefits here.
The waves were crashing on the shore; it was a lovely sight.
This is insanely cool. So well made, looks better than most commercially available appliances. Very cool, and a very under-rated channel. +1 sub from me :)
Thank you very much, Jammy! I appreciate it :)
Nice design, well done
Thanks, Dave! :)
Top Project.
Very, very, very nice....speachless. Just analog I/O is missing to me. To control valves for heating/cooling, for dimming lights etc...
TY Good Work There
I'm very glad to see such excellent works. I have always had similar ideas, but I don't know how to realize them. I really want to have it, but now the chip is too expensive, and I'm afraid to step back. There is another question. Is this drawn using easy EDA? It would be great if you can change the chip package yourself, because dip28 is relatively cheaper.👍👍👍
impressive!
Awsome.! Good Job dude.
Thank you so much 😀
i was just watching and thinking on subscribing until i see the MATE, so and i'm definitely subscribing then :D
Very great video and products
Thanks :)
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; theres only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
Damn dude! This is an awesome piece!
I’m curious, can you dim the lights and what kinds of lightswitches do you use? Just normal lightswitches or some with possibilities for scenes and such!
Anyways great work, was thinking about doing this only using plc, but this is next level! Wired things are so much better than wireless
Impressive!
Very cool project and extremely reliable design, I'm surprised a single esp32 running esphome could run that much I/O, unfortunately it sacrifices alot of features like dimming, kelvin coloring and rgb coloring on the lights. I would like to build a scaled down version for sensor inputs doors/windows and maybe motion.
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 :)
Awesome!
Thanks!
Incredible
Thank you!
Amazing work. Pre-trolling the trollers makes the video even better.
I haven't heard the term "Pre-trolling", but I love it! :) I'm glad you like my video!
So this is just like the SuperhouseTV system that he designed and built about 4 years ago. Good to have options, and it look like you have pretty decent integration.
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.
Regarding the wiring colour scheme, just sleeve the wires with brown sleeving to make it compliant. (Or whichever colour matches the phase you're using.)
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 ^^
Good effort
Dobra robota!
Dzięki :)
You are a genius!!
I don't think so, but thank you very much :)
What I understood from this video that smarness of you home depends on how smart you are.
I never thought of it that way, but... I think there's something in it :)
good job👍👏👏👏👏
Koncepcyjnie przypomina mi to system Continuum firmy Andover Controls, który służył do integracji różnych systemów. Składał się z kontrolera i rozszerzeń. Wszystko montowane na szynie DIN.
Nie ukrywam, że nie słyszałem o tym systemie. Ale sama idea modułów rozszeżeń ogólnie jest popularna. Z ciekawości zaraz sobie pogooglam o tym Continuum.
Very good job, don't see big production on start. But In Europ there is some solution for start little. I can help you if you want.
owww 🤤this is awesome
Woow great work... That is really impressive and inspiring at the same time. I just had a few questions...
1. Do you have any ideas/methods of handling dimmer lights using this hub?
2. Any recommendations on how to handle automatic rolling shutters and motorized curtains?
3. Any ideas on how to handle regular RGB/RGBW led strips or even addressable ones?
4. Can you please elaborate more on how the RJ45 sockets work with inputs?
5. What are the maximum safe load ratings for this solution (Amps/watts) per relay circuit?
But man... I have to say... You're inspiring, keep up the great work, and amazing video quality. 👍🏼 Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks! :)
1. I'm working on it.
2. It depends on the motor of the roller shutters. But usually 3 wires are enough for this purpose.
3. In general, how would my HUB do this? Currently HUB cannot do it, but I want to make another module especially for RGB LEDs.
4. Its just a connector. It's the easiest way to connect the Ethernet cables to the HUB.
5. 2A per circuit.
I LIKE THIS GUY
I like you too! :)
O. Fajna rzecz!
Dzięki!
Hello amazing work, do you have anything for dimmable and tunable CCT lights?
Amazing! I’d also be interested in being able to buy this as a commercial product!
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.
This is amazing. I'd definitely buy one today! Do you have any phase cut dimming channels for lights or do you managing dimming on the luminaires themselves via some other communication?
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!
This is amazing project,I love the idea to have hard wiring to the smart home,if is posible to avoid any wifi connection at all to any sensors or switches.Do you have any Display to control all thi or just you mobile phone?
