How It Works

Why Build This

Design an embedded IoT architecture utilizing FreeRTOS multi-tasking and LVGL graphical interfaces on dual ESP32 microcontrollers.
Implement real-time AC power metering, current sensing, and fault protection mechanisms suitable for undergraduate engineering portfolios.
Integrate sensor-driven automation with safety relays to optimize energy consumption in smart buildings and hostels.

Real-World Application

Smart homes, hostels, offices, and small buildings to optimize power consumption, prevent electrical accidents, and automate appliance control.

Skills You'll Learn

Real-time operating system task management
LVGL GUI development
AC power and current sensing
relay-based appliance control
sensor integration with ESP-IDF

Safety Precautions

Do not touch live AC wires, use insulated connectors, keep dry hands while testing, use low load initially, and ensure proper earthing if using real AC.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ESP32-S3-BOX3 handles the graphical interface and high-level display functions using LVGL, while the ESP32 Dev Module manages sensor data acquisition, relay switching, and real-time safety monitoring.
The PZEM-004t module measures AC voltage, current, and power parameters, and the ACS712 current sensor provides additional feedback on electrical load to help detect faults and optimize energy usage.
The buck converter steps down voltage efficiently to power the low-voltage control circuitry, and the dual 3.7V Li-ion battery cells act as a backup power source to maintain system operation during power fluctuations.
