One ac adapter is the power supply (on the board)
The other monitors the on /off of the light

Hello, I made recently a bathroom fan control based on light on / off ( lux detection was not possible because our bathroom has a window!). The control is based on the idea to mesure the humidity when the light is switched on, to switch the fan if the humidity value is above a certain level for me :...

Patou

There is no diode bridge
On the pcb there is the choice to integrate
Or the Hlk pm1
Or the Dc/Dc converter B1205S2W
Or the 7805
Hope this clear
Patou

Patou

Hello This board wants to have different power supply possibilities 1. Ac power supply with Hlk pm01 give 5 V supply 2. 12 VDC used in other applications If opto isolator is used for the digital inputs the DC/DC converter must also be isolated so use of B1205S 2W 3. Use of 12 VDC without isolation w...

Hello, To make a kind of sheduler I want to compare the %systime% to a time stored in a dummy variable or mqtt helper. Dummy#var1 = 11 ( 11 o-clock) Dummy#var2 = 30 ( 30 minuts) This is simple to write over mqtt from a controller. rule line should be : if %systime% > 11:30 .... Can i transform 11:30...

I do not understand what you are doing.
You apply 3.3 VDC to a 12 VDC fan and it is running at nominal speed ???
Applying 0.02 V ( pwm 0) does not stop the fan ???
Very strange
Please give more details
Patou

Patou

Strange thing fan voltage is 12 VDC and at 1023 pwm value you measure only 3.3 VDC this is probably at the output of the pwm terminal.
Did you place a transistor between the pwm terminal at 3.3 VDC and the fan with a 12 VDC power supply ?
Patou

Patou

Hello
A fan is a quadratic load so even with low voltage the speed is still high.
Please measure the voltage at the fan terminal for different setting from 0 to 1023 and report
Have a nice day

Please monitor the voltage on the gpio input pin to see if it is stable Please check if the used gpio input has a pull up resistor if not put one around 10 k Your switch should be connected between gpio input and gnd You can add a capacitor of about 10 mf between input and gnd On the input configura...

Hello
Look at : https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... le=PCF8574
They are some specific commands for PCF8579

The important think is the capacitor value not the technology used
So it should work as it was an electrolytic one

OK thanks it works
