This project was designed as part of the #HackyourClassroom educational program of Stegi Onassis Cultural Foundation and in partnership with GFOSS.
Description
The project is about controlling the blinds in the classroom in an easy and automated way. The components, software and hardware, that were used have been open source solutions where possible. The hardware components used are:
- Raspberry Pi 3
- Raspberry Pi 3 Official Power Supply
- nodeMCU ESP8266 development board
- 2 relay module
- DHT11 module
- Somfy LT50 electric roler
Software used:
- Domoticz
- ESPeasy

User Manual
To control the blinds and see the temperature/ humidity values follow these steps:
- Connect to the "Domoticz" Wifi network with the password supplied.
- Open a web browser and type "192.168.42.1:8080" to the adress bar.
- Once the Domoticz site loads, you can view the controls under the "Switches" menu and the temperature/ humidity under the "Temperature" menu.
You can also use the Domoticz Android App to control the system.
