I learn what are the low-cost system for remote control and monitoring.
After installing a video surveillance system at my dacha appeared constantly working online and I thought, that it would be good to make a system to remotely switch heating and see a few options:
- the presence of voltage in the network;
- The current power consumption;
- the temperature in the house and on the street;
- humidity outdoors.
It is important that such a system could instantly notify, such as during a power outage on the network, and appears again.
Of course, such a system should work through the cloud, to have a mobile application and a push-notification.
Mobile applications of such systems in stores hundreds of applications and find something interesting challenge.
Complete systems, do whatever you need, I have not found. Is that Habré has an article on home-made system running on the platform OpenHab: Monitoring of systems of a country house: the first steps towards an intelligent home.
Author sold everything that I would have liked even more. So look screens its mobile application.
OpenHab require a separate server that is installed on the computer or on the Raspberry PI, I also want something much more simple. Ideally it should be a device that connects to the Internet via a LAN or Wi-Fi and having multiple inputs and outputs.
Probably the cheapest remote cloud management system, it Sonoff (ammo1.livejournal.com/901449.html).
With the help of its components are easy to implement remote control (there is a Wi-Fi switch to the mains, there are nutritional 5/12 volts), but with a sophisticated monitoring. Sonoff POW knows how to turn on and off the load and measure its power, Sonoff TH16 measures temperature and can probably show it in the application, Sonoff RF Bridge 433 may receive commands from a variety of wireless sensors, but it is instead of getting bulky, uncomfortable and not quite what necessary.
If you do something homemade, perfect - Arduino with cloud management. There is a free cloud service RemoteXYAllowing you to create visually based management and monitoring of mobile applications and control the Arduino, which can connect a plurality of control relays and sensors.
This decision will cost very cheap, but it will take time to build, configuration and programming.
Another option - use cloud security alarms with mobile application and connect to the Internet via LAN or Wi-Fi.
For example, the fee NAVIgard NV 206 costs about 3,000 rubles, Cloud management and has 4 programmable outputs, 8 inputs and three inputs of temperature sensors.
It connects to the Internet using simkarty, but it is possible to connect the card NV 204 to connect via LAN or NV 205 for the connection of Wi-Fi.
As much as suitable and convenient for remote control and monitoring of garden, I do not know. Need to try.
Another cloud security Security Hub worth 4055 rubles can be connected to the Internet via a sim card or LAN port.
She has 4 programmable inputs / outputs and two relay outputs, but the analog sensors (temperature, power consumption, humidity) seem to be connected to it can not be.
Surely there are other systems that I do not know. If you know of any other low-cost systems for managing and monitoring the cloud, please share the information.
