Hello!
The tiresome wait at the pressed switch to close or open a roller shutter has prompted me to take the plunge to improve this activity. I wanted to connect my external roller shutters using the ESP-8266 Wifi module so that they can be controlled from the network (e.g. smartphone). I'm leaving the question of programming the module to myself, but as a novice 'electromaniac' I'm encountering the problem of connecting this so that it works. The biggest problem is powering the module (with 3.3V consumption and logic) using standard socket current. I'm green when it comes to transformers, rectifier diodes etc, so I'd really appreciate some help in constructing a suitable circuit to connect the cables in the box to the ESP. Just to add, the switch is to stay in place and also operate normally. There are 3 cables in the can: phase up, phase down and ground.
Thank you in advance
