Completed the Firmware

The firmware is also ready!!! I made the firmware through which you could control the 4 relays mapped to 3 lights and a socket with either the webserver or the physical buttons. The led lights would respond accordingly. The rotary will be used to control my smart fan via an IR blaster API.
Right now it might not be he best but I will improve and fix bugs once I get the hardware.

Made a simple webpage

Today I made a simple html and css page which will be used to control the devices. It just has a title and a few buttons in a grid. Later I will map javascript functions to actually control them.

README!

Made a Readme specifying the entire project and also a Bill Of Materials (BOM). The firmware part is still left though.

Finished the 3D model

I just finished with the 3D model. I have made the complete base with borders. I measured the position of screw holes in my current switchboard and placed the screw holes in this accordingly. However I don’t know how do I hide these screw holes. I just added these circular caps. It is not the best solution so if you have any ideas on how can I cover the screw holes then pls tell me in comments.
I also made and initialised the github repo.

Devlog 3

I made a simple 3D for the switchboard plate.

It has holes to place the LEDs, push buttons and rotary. The buttons and rotary will also be 3D printed. The plug socket will be stuck behind it.
Next I need to add screw holes to mount it and a border.

Devlog 2

I reworked the schematic.

My light bulb has some kind proprietary way of controlling and doesn’t have any simple API. So I just added another relay. I also added LED’s which will act as indicators around my switches and rotary. I already have socket so I will reuse it. I did the wiring and since everything is not on a single pcb and things have to be placed far away I will just keep this as a schematic and not make a pcb. -_-

Smart Switchboard
I am working on this smart switch board. It will have 4 buttons and rotary encoder switch controlling non smart devices with relays and a smartlight and smartfan with their API. 2 buttons will be controlling 2 lights via a relay and 1 button will be controlling a socket with relay. 1 button will control a smartbulb via esp 32. Then a smartfan will be controlled by a rotary encoder switch with smart fan api. I started working on the schematic and wasted so much time looking for the right symbol and footprints of a relay module. Right now its pretty messy I will fix this and also add LED indicators.
