Unit ideas

TypeNameDescription
AdapterMeshtastic <-> MQTTStudy the protocol. To avoid publishing the entire air, an authorization mechanism based on the existing keys needs to be designed, possibly using AES-256 encryption
AdapterLoRa <-> MQTTStudy the protocol. A criterion for skipping unnecessary data needs to be designed
AdapterZigBee <-> MQTTStudy the protocol. The adapter must act as a station
ActuatorLED stripsControl RGB and regular LED strips
ActuatorLED notificationsWS2812B RGB LED, each notification has its own color
SensorMotion sensorsNeed to study what options exist. There are also presence sensors. Event publishing
Sensor220V grid monitoringVoltage, current, power, frequency, minimum frequency, maximum frequency. Need to configure peaks that will be treated as events
SensorHall sensorMeasure magnetic field strength
ModuleGame UnitSimilar to streaming, but designed for N users with input. Lobby creation by unique Unit UUIDs and their names. The game should have an asset so streams only transmit coordinates
ModuleDiesel heaterStatus model, On/Off, emergency shutdown. Unit duplication may be needed so they know which one is in which status. Unit duplication is mandatory
ModuleESP32 with cameraMust be able to work with an S3 bucket using tokens. Snapshots on request, timelapse with and without power saving. Shooting parameter setup. Rotation support through additional hardware
ModuleAntenna positioningStepper motors, worm gears. The main wheels should have magnetic absolute-position encoders. Worm shafts should have safety clutches. Wi-Fi + Meshtastic/LoRa control
ModuleScalesHandheld scales on a load cell with a frame shaped like a square stainless steel rod, about 8x8 mm, with special slots for convenient measurements. Load cell, screen, 18650, control encoder. Newtons/grams. Single/streaming measurement
ModuleMouseModular. Preferably a steel / titanium enclosure. The mouse module itself is in a default frame, potted in epoxy, and moisture/waterproof. Electrical parts are inserted into the mouse like cartridges. The mouse is designed to be indestructible
ControlLoRa/Meshtastic control remoteSending pre-recorded commands. Screen, 18650, buttons. Ideally mounted on the back cover of a phone through MagSafe
ControlServer Unit for garageTg Bot, adapter integration. On/Off by timer. Ability to block activation. Output basic information to Telegram messages on a schedule. Flexible on/off scenarios
ControlHotkey snifferType-C (1 keyboard input and 3-4 outputs). Analyzes the character stream. Reacts to hotkeys. Sends preconfigured commands to topics and swaps devices (KVM)
ControlPipeline triggerEach sequential press activates a new stage or stages of some tasks. It should have a colored LED to indicate execution of the current task. Linear and cyclic modes
ControlSchedulerTg Bot. Action scheduling with cancellation support. The main action is applied after a configured time. While this time is running, the action can be cancelled
ControlWi-Fi module for FlipperInput/Output. Better to design a universal API for interaction
ExtensionUnit Bar5V splitter

Garage automation

  • Fully autonomous system
  • Based on a microcomputer with ClickHouse support
  • Communication with the outside world through polling
