  Temperature and humidity sensors for FCALLBOX DOMOTIC SYSTEM  

DESCRIPTION


Temperature and humidity sensor with link RF 2.4GHz, one version for internal use powered by battery, another for external with battery rechargable by solar panel..
  • Sensor based on carrier board for Arduino Pro mini described here

  • RF board: NRF24L01 + 2.4GHz Wireless RF Transceiver

  • Temperature sensor DS1721 -55°C à +125°C with precision 0.0625°C

  • Humidity sensor DHT11 20 to 80% (relative humidity) +/-5% or DHT22 for external use

The main application is a temperature and humidity sensor with Radio link, it is used in the FCALLBOX DOMOTIC SYSTEM

Pictures

Arduino on carrier

Remove the 2 leds and the rebulator on the red circles to decrease the consumption

Modification to control RF module power

To reduce the consumption at minimum, add a PNP MMBT5401 and a 100R

Modification to reduce noise for RF module

Add a 10uF and 200uF 6V3 min.

Software

The project has to be compiled and loaded with Arduino IDE

Modify this line to adapt to sensor DHT22 or DHT11 :

#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT11 DHT 22 (AM2302), AM2321
