Smart Home Central Control Box

Overview

Description

As smart homes become increasingly popular, consumers need a centralized device to manage and integrate various smart devices and systems, such as lighting, HVAC, and various home appliances. A control box serves as a hub, enabling seamless interaction and automation between these devices.

This smart home central control box enhances comfort by monitoring environmental conditions like temperature and illuminance, while centrally managing lighting and home appliances. Lighting control is facilitated through communication interfaces such as RS-485, DALI, and Wi-Fi, while home appliance settings are managed via interfaces like RS-485 and Wi-Fi. Additionally, relays are used to control the power ON/OFF of external devices.

System Benefits:

  • Provides a DALI communication interface for lighting control, offering precise control, system scalability, and flexibility.
  • Includes a Modbus RTU/ASCII sample program for device control, reducing development barriers and shortening time-to-market.
  • Utilizes an ultra-low power consumption RL78/I1C MCU for power meters, achieving high-precision power measurement with a simple configuration.
  • Reduces power consumption with low-power devices such as the RL78/G23 MCU and Wi-Fi module for enhanced energy efficiency.
