Meek Wifi wall switch ESP8266

[Meek]

I wouldn't mind testing one

I’m not sure if the wall socket/ switching sockets are fully compatible with the ones that is common within EU.
The Meek MP1 is a in wall variant, so you need a depth of at least 2.7cm and circle of 5cm.
If your environment complies to this, please PM me grovkillen, I am more than happy to provide you one.

I really like what you have contributed and I’m also fan of your work of ESPEasy Flasher and Netscan !
Thank you !

This is the standard holes in Sweden at least.

And thank you for the support

Thank you for your feedback, it seems that it will fit your socket’s too.
Good to hear that. Once I have everything ready for “roll-out”, I will send an example to you too!

Best regards

If desirable, I would love to test a 2 or 3 gang version
Would love to meet up. Living in Limburg but could combine a nice weekend zeeland with a meet

Any idea when you will roll out. Is it worth waiting, or should I just get me some ugly Sonoffs?

We’ve just finalized the design process of several Meek switches and the PCB’s are send for production.

The current estimate is that we will start assembling the switches within 2 weeks.
After the thorough internal test procedures, we will deliver a small quantity to our 1’st line of testers (1’st degree Meekers ).
After this testing period, we will issue the 1’st batch for commercial deployment.

A very rough estimate is that we will have a small batch ready for commercial deployment somewhere end September.

[grovkillen]

Great job Meek! Love how you keep us in the loop.

[TD-er]

Wow, that's way faster than I expected
Hmm sooo much still to do until then

By the way, did you find a supplier for the 72mm versions?

[Meek]

Let’s say that we have used our “vacation” “very wisely”

Unfortunately, we have not found a partner to produce the 72mm (double socket) version yet!

We’re still contacting manufactures, suppliers and service providers to acquire c.q. produce them.
We’ll keep you in the loop!

[TD-er]

I'm very interested, as you know

[Meek]

A brief update: attached you’ll finds a few pictures of the final versions that are currently been tested:

As announced earlier, we have the intension to release the switches end September in small quantities.
The first available versions will be the :
• Meek MT1 (Meek Touch with 1 Touch input/output)
• Meek MP1 (Meek Presence with 1 Touch input/output)

In October, we’ll add the :
• Meek MT2 (Meek Touch with 2 Touch input/output)
• Meek MT3 (Meek Touch with 3 Touch input/output)


In the 4’th quarter, the Meek MM1 (Meek Motor for “mechanical home ventilation systems”) will be added to the product range.

The development of the Meek Wi-Fi Dimmer “Meek MD1” still continues and in our test environment, it’s already showing pretty good results!
On the hardware side it’s nearly completed but we still need to deploy some enhancements on the software side to ensure flawless operations in various conditions. We expect them to be commercially available in 2019.

Our website ( www.meek-ha.com )is also undergoing some transformation with information about the switches itself but also how to integrate them in various automations systems.

Just to tickle the imagination and show the endless possibilities with these devices, as proof of concept, we’ve imbedded a light sensor in the switch.

In the near future we will bring you more groundbreaking and exiting new devices!

[grovkillen]

Nice update! What update to the software are you considering?

[Meek]

“On the hardware side it’s nearly completed but we still need to deploy some enhancements on the software side to ensure flawless operations in various conditions.”

I now see that this part of text is confusing, on the Meek MD1 dimmer module, we have included an ATMEGA328 for zero cross detection and firing up the triacs. The software on the Atmega needs some work not the ESPEasy FW, that part is more than OK !

Ah, thanks for that

[Tecumseh]

A very interesting project, any news on availability?

[grovkillen]

I really like the idea of adding a BME280 to one of those and then you could just drill a small hole besides the light switch and have the BME in a nice looking housing next to the light switch in each room of the house. Thanks for that idea !

You should make a housing for the BME that match the great looking MEEK panel

[TD-er]

Also don't forget the light switch also has one of those radar sensors and a speaker built in.

That one is something else than your average "smart" switch.

In Germany en the Netherlands, and maybe some other EU countries it is common to use frames around the frontplates for the wall sockets. I think you would have a huge market alone in these countries if you could make the front glasplate fit inside a few of the commonly most used brand/type frames. Some of de most commonly used brands in new development housings are for example Busch en Jaeger SI Reflex, Berker, Jung and Peha. Some of which are also interchangable I think.

Also a basic version without the frontplate en switches and some gpio terminals/pin header in exchange would be usefull. You could use these behind your own blind wall plates and attach some custom sensors to it or use them only for remote controlling the relay.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Regarding the frames, at this stage of development, it’s not within the scope to be compatible with “other” switch manufacturers (yet). Hence, we have some difficulties to find manufacturers to make a double- and triple socket based frames for us. This goal to deliver double- and triple sockets with touch and/or power outlets, is pretty high on our to do list.
That been said/written, this question is raised so often, that we have to investigate this in the future!

Regarding “Basic version”, this is something we do have in mind, but due to the resource/time restrictions, we have to push this (and many other cool idea’s )for end 2019.

Thank you for your thoughts! It’s been highly appreciated.

You’ve got a message

Herewith a small update:

We’ve finalized the development of the Meek MT2 & Meek MT3. These are Wi-Fi enabled dual or triple touch input and dual or triple SSR output switches.

The attachment MeekAssortiment.jpg is no longer available

Next week, we will assemble the Meek DDD board.
This is a unit with pre-installed Wi-Fi enabled Doorbell & DSMR compatible P1 smart meter reader input & Development board.

• Doorbell – This will be a Wi-Fi enabled & (arguably) the most flexible doorbell module. It can be used parallel to the existing doorbell or as a standalone module or in mixed mode.
• DSRM/P1 – has an inbuilt P1 port that can be attached to a smart meter to read the Electricity & Gas usage and send this data thru Wi-Fi to a monitoring system like Domoticz.
• Development board – most GPIO pins of the ESPS12 unit are made available to use to do some easy development. Also I2C ports are made external to attached compatible devices.
Next week, I hope to assemble the first alpha board to do some more testing. Once assembled I will report back with a small update

We’re still searching for partners that can provide us the dual and triple socket wall panels. We have received some samples and are now in discussion with a few potential candidates! Hopefully we can sort things out so we can place every household switch for a Meek variant

Great! I have a friend who's interested in all versions 1,2,3 buttons plus some with radar. 15 units all and all. PM me if you want

He's remaking his top floor and wish to have it smart equipped with your switches.

I currently have the Meek MP1 running for several weeks now. It is running flawless so far.

Only thing that does bug me is that I cannot enable the web log. Under advanced settings I have set this:

Syslog Facility: Kernel
Serial log Level: Info
Web log Level: Info

And on the info page I get this as status:

System Status
Syslog Log Level: None
Serial Log Level: Info
Web Log Level: None

Would there be another location that reverts the web loglevel setting to None?
