Smart appliance monitoring with EzloPi!
Appliance vibration and door monitoring system
The EzloPi smart devices provide automation through simple, customizable use with our open-source EzloPi platform, making daily life easier and improving human-machine interactions.
Before moving into this example, it is very important to know about the device registration, provisioning and converting the ESP32 device into an EzloPi device along with knowledge of Web Flasher, MiOS Mobile Application for Android/iOS and the MiOS Web Application.
1. About this example
This project aims to develop a robust and efficient light monitoring system using an LDR sensor for light monitoring. This smart monitoring system utilizes solar energy for charging the battery, which also powers the system during periods of low light availability or when solar energy is not available. The system incorporates an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) analog sensor to detect ambient light levels and adjust its operation accordingly. This integration enables applications such as automated lighting control, energy efficiency optimization, or security systems based on environmental light conditions. Solar panel is also integrated in this project for EzloPi device to work independently without the aid of any external power supply.
With EzloPi smart devices, users can deploy these projects for security applications and smart home monitoring to provide a heightened level of control and awareness in your smart spaces.
