TITLE: HOME AUTOMATION USING ESP8266 WITH AC-POWER

REGULATION FUNCTIONALITY

INTRODUCTION
ESP8266 contains a built-in 32-bit low-power CPU, ROM, and RAM. It is a
complete and self- contained Wi-Fi network solution that can carry software
applications as a stand-alone device or connected with a microcontroller
unit (MCU). The module has built-in AT command firmware to be used with
only MCU via COM port.
Home Automation as the name implies aims to control all the devices of
your smart home through internet protocols. The concept of Home
Automation aims to bring the control of operating your every day home
electrical appliances to the tip of your finger, thus giving user affordable
lighting solutions, better energy conservation with optimum use of energy.
Apart from just lighting solutions, the concept also further extends to have
an overall control over your home security.
The IoT Home Automation system offer a lot of flexibility over the wired
systems. It comes with various advantages like ease-of-use, ease-of-
installation, avoid complexity of running through wires or loose electrical
connections, easy fault detection and triggering and above all it even offers
easy mobility. Thus IoT based Home Automation system consist of servers
and sensors. These servers are remote servers located on Internet which
help you to manage and process the data without the need of personalized
computers. The internet based servers can be configured to control and
monitor multiple sensors installed at the desired location.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES

AIM
Design and construction of Home Automation using esp8266 with AC-
power regulation functionality.
OBJECTIVES
Below are set objectives in order to achieve this project.
 To design a Zero crossing detection circuit
 To design an AC power regulation circuit using triac
 To design a Web server (http) platform for interfacing with the user
 To program the ESP8266 and setup the WIFI connection

ZERO CROSSING DETECTED

 
A zero-crossing detector or ZCD is one type of voltage comparator, used to
detect a sine waveform transition from positive and negative, that coincides
when the i/p crosses the zero voltage condition.
A zero crossing detector circuits can be used to check the condition of an
operational amplifier. And also used as a frequency counter and for
switching purposes in power electronics circuits.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The expected result of the project is to design and construct successfully a
home automated system which is capable of regulating AC voltages
