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.

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.

Welcome to the project demonstration video section. The following video showcases the key aspects of Appliance vibration and door monitoring system, providing a visual walkthrough of its implementation.

The following components are required for interfacing with the EzloPi device:

• ESP32 as an EzloPi smart device.
• MC-38 Magnetic door switch.
• LM393 Vibration sensor module

The wiring diagram is represented as follows:

The following connections are made in order to complete the circuit setup:

From ESP32 to the MC-38 Magnetic door switch:

From ESP32 to the Vibration Sensor Module:

• Now Click the Apply button.

8. Again, In the Device Configuration, tab click on Digital Input.

9. A Digital Input window will open for inputting the following parameters:

• Set a device name of your choosing. In our case, we set it to Magnetic Door Sensor.
• Set the INPUT GPIO input pin to 5.
• Set device Subtype to Reed Switch.
• Then Click Apply Button.
• After clicking the apply button you can see a table of your setting in the device configuration tab.
• Press the Flash Device button.

11. Hold the BOOT button down until the next window appears on the bottom right side of the screen which says “Installation prepared. Please release the boot button now.”

12. Release the BOOT button from your ESP32 when this pop-up on the bottom right window appears.

13. After some time, a popup will appear saying Device Flashed Successfully! This means that your device has been set up successfully.

1. After configuring the controller with the EzloPi web flasher, head to ezlogic.mios.com

2. Use the same credential to log in that you used for configuring the controller with the web flasher.

3. As you can see both Magnetic Door Sensor and Vibration Sensor tiles are visible with the messages “Open” and “No Motion” respectively.

MeshBots:

4. On the right side of the screen under Automation, click on MeshBots.

5. On meshbot screen, click on Create new MeshBot button present on the top right corner of the screen.
6. After clicking on Create new MeshBot you will see new options, now under Notification MeshBot click on Create.

7. On the next screen you will see that we can create a name of our choosing, in this case we write it as Vibration Update.

8. In the trigger tab you can set the TRIGGER for your device and in the ACTION tab you can set the action to be performed based on the trigger which you have created.

9. Set these values in TRIGGER section:

• Set Node Type to Device.
• Set the Node to Vibration Sensor.
• Set the Capability to Motion.
• Set the Armed State to Armed.
• Set the value to True.

10. Set these values in the ACTION section.

• Set Controllable Type to Notification.
• Set the User to Your user account .
• Set the Channels to email,push.
• Set the Subject to Vibration Update.
• Write the suitable Message body that you want to receive in your email. As you can see, we write, Vibration is detected.
• After clicking the apply button you can see a table of your setting in the Current configuration tab.

11. After clicking the apply button you can see a table of your setting in the Current configuration tab.

12. After clicking the save button you can see this screen on the top right corner of the screen.
13. Now, we create another meshbot for door alert.

14. On the next screen you will see that we can create a name of our choosing, in this case we write it as Door Alert.

15. In the trigger tab you can set the TRIGGER for your device and in the ACTION tab you can set the action to be performed based on the trigger which you have created.

16. Set these values in TRIGGER section:
17. Set Node Type to Device.
18. Set the Node to Magnetic Door Sensor.
19. Set the Capability to Dw state.
20. Set the Armed State to Armed.
21. Set the value to dw_is_opened.

17. Set these values in the ACTION section.

• Set Controllable Type to Notification.
• Set the User to Your user account .
• Set the Channels to email,push.
• Set the Subject to Magnetic Door Update.
• Write the suitable Message body that you want to receive in your email. As you can see, we write, Door has been opened.
• After clicking the apply button you can see a table of your setting in the Current configuration tab.

18. After clicking the save button you can see this screen on the top right corner of the screen.

19. Here you can see your saved MeshBot. Now click on Dashboard.

20. As seen in the MiOS web dashboard above, the door sensor tile and vibration sensor tile are visible with the message “Closed” and “No Motion” respectively  which indicates that the door sensor is detecting a magnetic field while the vibration sensor is not detecting any vibration.

22. As we can see, we have received email through Meshbot when a any appliances door is open

You can download the MIOS Android app from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

1. After downloading the app, proceed to install the application and open it.

2. Using the MIOS mobile application, create a new Ezlo Cloud account using the sign-up option. If you already have an account, you may proceed to log in.

3. After successfully logging in, you will be able to see the number of controllers connected such as a lamp, fan, or any other device in the MiOS app. Tap on any controller of your desired ID:
4. You will be able to see the status of your controller whether it is online or offline. Access the device dashboard, and tap the device. The following view of the dashboard will appear:

5. After opening the dashboard, you will be able to see the tile of your connected device.

6. As seen in the MiOS mobile dashboard, the door sensor tile and vibration sensor tile are visible with the message “Closed” and “No Motion” respectively  which indicates that the door sensor is detecting a magnetic field while the vibration sensor is not detecting any vibration.

7. When the ESP32 does not detect any magnetic field or object, the tile will display the “Open” message and we will receive an email via meshbot, as shown in the MiOS mobile dashboard. Whereas the vibration sensor is displaying the “Motion” message which means that it is detecting vibration.
