Hello everyone.
My goal is to automate several elements of one room in the house using Raspberry Pi. In a nutshell I'm looking at: controlling the motor of an external roller shutter, switching on/off a lamp on the ceiling + motion sensor, measuring the light intensity in the room and measuring temperatures (inside and outside). Possibly shutting off the power supply at 2-3 sockets.
As far as roller shutter control is concerned, the programme would, for example: close the roller shutter in winter as soon as darkness falls and pull it down in the morning, in summer it would look a little different, for example: close the roller shutter up to a certain moment to prevent the room from heating up quickly, and at night after exceeding a certain temperature. All based on an external thermometer and light sensor.
As for the lighting, I'd like the light to come on when it drops to a certain light level in the room and only be on if someone is in the room. I think a motion sensor and a light sensor will suffice for this.
Now it's time for my (hopefully not compromising
) questions:
1. Will the motion sensor be able to detect a person sitting at the computer (without waving my hand every few seconds)? Which do you recommend (a room of about 12 m²) ?
2. Will the simplest Dallas 18B20 type sensors work for measuring temperatures?
3. Will something of this type suffice for measuring light intensity 3.1.18. It is forbidden to publish information to sources that expire after a certain period of time (publishing links to short-lived sites). Edit:
4. Can most roller shutter motors detect that it has encountered an obstruction (e.g. snow/ice/cat) or do you have to use additional sensors? I haven't bought the motor yet.
5. Relay module based on Songle SRD-05VDC-SL-C 3.1.18. It is forbidden to publish information to sources that expire after a certain period of time (publishing links to short-lived sites). Edit:
enough from switching on/off the power supply to the sockets and lamp? Is it suitable for hiding in the cable box?
6. What else besides the motor will I need to control the roller shutter?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
