Simple home automation board is Arduino-compatible

 Automation-BoardAn Arduino Uno-compatible home automation board requires no separate power supply as a power source soldered onto the board itself.

According to the developer GarageLab, it is supplied directly from the electrical grid with voltages between 100 to 240Vac and 50 or 60Hz and so usable around the world.

Dubbed the Automation Board, it has four relays to trigger alarms, electronic locks, fans and lamps.

The pins for connecting temperature, humidity or motion sensors can be digital or analogue, including 5V and GND.

As it is Arduino-compatible, standard shields can be connected to the board.

So internet connectivity can be added.

Also it’s possible to make an RS-485 connection through the Automation Board, allowing applications in industrial automation systems or in some places that has electromagnetic interference.

Through the dedicated headers for XBee modules is it possible to connect multiple boards to a network, or even a wireless connection with a PC through a Dongle USB for XBee.

One accessory is a board which can be controlled by signals sent from an Automation Board, allowing it to trigger distant loads through a wireless network.

The Automation Board is looking for funding on Kickstarter.
