3D Printed ESP8622 Smart Switch Outlet by GuarddogTryker

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Included in this thing are the housing components for a smart switch I built to turn off and on my 3D printer remotely as I do not like to leave it running when I am away from home after it is done printing. The printer is monitored by security camera and can be turned off and on with the switch which fits within the housing.
Building this project "thing" requires some intermediate to advance knowledge of electronics (soldering, circuit design, modem configuration, ESP programming) and experience with wiring devices pulling household power. I will not go into great detail on how to build this because if you can not figure out how to assemble the components I list, then perhaps a store bought solution will be safer for you.
By downloading these components you agree that you fully understand that electricity is dangerous. And you, and only you, is responsible for your own safety and surroundings. You also agree I am not responsible for anything which may happen to you, those around you, or your property. If you are not properly trained or experienced working with household main power, then do not attempt this project.
Components for which this box is designed to fit:
2 each: 3v Relay Board Power Switch Relay Module 1 Channel Optocoupler with Opto Isolation High Level Trigger
1 each: ESP8266 NodeMCU CP2102 ESP-12E Development Board (or any other controller which will fit on the perf board and has enough ports for the relays)
1 each: 3X7CM double-sided PCB board with 240 holes
4 each: 5mm leds (I used the clear version of red and green for off and on status)
2 each: 230 ohm 1/2 Watt resisters (or a value close to that for the leds)
2 each: 2.54mm Spacing Female 16 Pins PCB Header Connector Single Row (this is so you don't have to solder directly to the controller and so you can run wires between the ESP and the PCB board)
1 each: 4 Pin Tact Tactile Push Button Switch Momentary 12x12x7.3mm with Switch Cap
1 each: Standard USA 110V 2 plug wall outlet
1 each: 3 to 5 feet of 10 gauge 3 wire extension cord wire with male end attached
