Home Automation System - Let's continue with packages


I'm back...after a lot of time spent at work.

Step by step, I'll reach my goals...no need for hurry...it's a hobby!

Today's target is the packaging of photovoltaic production and basement consumption monitoring system

Here you can find my previous post about it...

http://domoticsduino.blogspot.com/2018/10/home-automation-system-two-pzem-004t.html

As you can see in the following image, it's a mess...and high voltage wires (220v) and PZEM-004T are not safe!


Now finally I'm pretty sure that this monitorin system works well...so it's time to package it, in the best manner I can afford (I'm not so good in manual jobs)😉

In brief, I have to arrange two PZEM-004T device and a ESP 8266 Mcu, keeping free space for wires and power.

I will use two boxes:



The big one for two PZEM-004T and the small one for the ESP 8266.

To let the wires get out from the box I made some holes in the plastic (I repeat: I'm not so good in manual jobs)



Here is the two PZEM-004T on the bottom of the plastic box. They fit perfectly.


Ok, boxes closed and wires connected again. Here is the final result (a little cleaner than before...)


Next step will be to hang boxes on the wall; now they are just leaning on the wall.
