An independent temperature sensor as part of the IoT thermostat As mentioned in one of my previous posts, a typical thermostat can be broken down into four subsystems: HVAC controller for activating heater/ac/fan Temperature sensor Temperature set point: interface for setting desired temperature Thermostat: logic for determining the the hvac Read more…
Web API for hvac built on AWS The HVAC API is used as a virtual representation of the physical HVAC devices. It serves as a bridge between the physical hvac controller and other devices, software, and APIs. The API has methods and resources for adding new hvac devices, getting the Read more…
Part of a Better IoT Thermostat Summary My research has involved building a wifi-controlled HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) controller with a web API. This facilitates the creation of a practical and affordable IoT thermostat. Hardware: An ESP8266, 3 solid-state relays, power source, terminal blocks Software: Arduino (C++) Web API: AWS Read more…
