  1. Add a 1 µF to 10 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with C1 for better input noise suppression. Consider adding one or two 10 µF ceramic capacitors in parallel with C2 to reduce output ripple. Since your circuit will operate up to 70°C, ensure that all capacitors, especially electrolytics, are rated for at least 105°C to avoid any reliability issues. By the way, here is a deeptrace related blog post that you may like: https://www.pcbway.com/blog/25/PCB_Design_Tutorial_with_DipTrace_for_beginners.html
  2. Thanks for sharing the project. If you want to create a PCB with casing for your BMP280-based projects in the future, you can consider this design. It broadcasts temperature and pressure updates every 4 seconds. The gateway and 3-button remote use the pressure readings to calculate the altitude.10440 Li-ion 3.7V 600mAh AAA size battery that lasts several months on a single charge. It has a 3D-printed water-resistant enclosure. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/BMP280_RFM69CW_Remote.html
  3. Very good. I came across another PCB based on ESP32 and DHT11 here: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ESP32_C6_development_board_79c4da37.html This is more compact. All parts are accomodated in a single board. It's an ESP32-C6 based development board that can be connected to a breadboard without taking up much space. Has a 3.3V regulator onboard. Features two sensors: LM35 (temperature) and DHT11 (temperature + humidity), as well as a WS2812 neopixel LED.
  4. Hi, It's a very good project. Using the voice recognition module needs a lot of expertise, no doubt. However, you can give your project a more compact look and better build. You are using a breadboard. It can create problems. sometimes one or two wires may disconnect. You can print a PCB instead. For example, like this one: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Voice_Controlled_Door_Lock_using_Alexa_and_Arduino_7cf9dadf.html As you can see, this is also a voice controlled project. It has an on board Arduino Nano IoT 33. You can make a board like this using Beetle ESP32 C microcontroller, voice recognition module and neopixel.
  5. Coverage: Zigbee: Zigbee operates on a mesh network, allowing devices to relay signals to extend coverage throughout your home. It's particularly effective for larger homes with multiple floors and rooms. Z-Wave: Similar to Zigbee, Z-Wave also utilizes a mesh network for extended coverage. Both Zigbee and Z-Wave are suitable for multi-room and multi-floor setups. Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi offers excellent coverage but may experience interference in densely populated areas or larger homes with thick walls. Bluetooth: Bluetooth's coverage is typically limited to a single room, making it less ideal for expansive smart home setups. Energy Consumption: Zigbee: Zigbee devices are known for their low power consumption, leading to longer battery life for battery-operated devices. Z-Wave: Z-Wave devices also boast low power consumption, contributing to extended battery life. Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi devices tend to consume more power compared to Zigbee and Z-Wave, potentially leading to more frequent battery replacements. Bluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is designed for energy efficiency, but battery life can still vary depending on device usage. Some smart home hubs support multiple wireless protocols, allowing you to integrate devices using different standards. This provides flexibility and compatibility but may require additional setup and configuration.The best wireless protocol for your smart home depends on your specific requirements, including coverage, energy efficiency, security, and future expansion plans. Consider factors such as the size of your home, the types of devices you plan to connect. Here is an example of a wifi-based home automation project. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Alexa_Control_Smart_Home_Automation_Using_Arduino_Nano_ESP32_45d0b79a.html
  6. The project looks really great. Here is another good ESPhome project https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/homeThing_S3_2b3ac3ac.html HomeThing is a universal remote platform that works with any smart home. Now faster, with Voice Assistant, and easier to set up.
  7. Thanks for sharing the project. Here is another good project based on DHT11. This is done with ESP8266. But it can be done with ESP32 too. This is a room-temperature monitor. We can use it to monitor our room from anywhere in the world with dht11: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Room_Temperature_Over_Internet_With_BLYNK_ESP8266_DHT11_91b0d3f5.html
  8. A suitable microcontroller for this project would be the ESP32. It's a budget-friendly microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi capability, which makes it easy to connect to the internet and fetch real-time data. The ESP32 also has plenty of GPIO pins for controlling multiple bells and interfacing with other peripherals. You can also print PCB of your project from PCBway. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ESP32_Power_Montiroing_PZEM_004T_and_Relay_Control_c8098cc0.html
  9. Good project. I can see another ESP32 Webserver for Home Weather Station PCB. https://www.pcbway.com/project/share/ESP32_Webserver_for_Home_Weather_Station.html
  10. Very good project. If you want to customize an ESP32-C3 board of yourself, you can see the BOM here: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ESP32_C3_DevBoard_208483e1.html
  11. Thanks a lot for the elaborate tutorial. Here I found another Neopixel ring clock. This one is also nice and well built. https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/NeopixelQuarterRing_cbc70e1a.html
  12. Thanks a lot for sharing this project. Earlier, I came across many telegram-related projects like this. https://www.pcbway.com/blog/PCB_Design_Tutorial/ESP32_CAM_with_Telegram__Take_Photos__Control_Outputs__Sensor_Readings_and_Motio.html Your blog is much more elaborate.
  13. You can post your query to digikey forum.
  14. Thanks for the detailed discussion of the project. Here somebody designed a smaller alternative https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Atiny_85_crypto_miner_9415f34a.html It is based on Attiny85.
  15. I think for this type of smart projects, you must choose STM microcontrollers. With Arduino, the nearest thing I could find is this one: If you just want to make simple Arduino-based school bell, you can follow this design: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Arduino_School_Bell_Simple_DIY_058abe6e.html
  16. Yes. The link I posted. The smart grocery cart project.
  17. If you are interested, you can make a PCB of your project: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Battery_powered_and_compact_design_ESP32_temperature_and_humidity_sensor_ba934715.html This PCB also features ESP32 and DTH11. It's quite compact.
  18. Can these modules E73-2G4M04S1A, E73-2G4M04S1B, E73-2G4M08S1C, E73-2G4M04S1D be used instead of ESP8266?
  19. Thanks. I did the decoder with Arduino. I could change the color of an RGB LED by pressing different numbers on the remote. I wish to try it without Arduino someday.
  20. You need a Sound Detector module, speaker, amplifier, and connecting wires. The Sound Detector module provides both analog and digital outputs. To obtain an analog audio signal, connect the AO (Analog Output) pin of the module to the input of an amplifier circuit. You can use a simple op-amp-based amplifier circuit or an audio amplifier module for this purpose. The amplifier circuit will boost the audio signal to a level suitable for driving the speaker. Connect the output of the amplifier circuit to the input of the speaker. If you're using an audio amplifier module, it may have dedicated inputs and outputs for connecting to speakers. Ensure that the power supply for the amplifier circuit and the speaker is suitable for their requirements. Amplifiers may require a separate power supply or use the same one as the Sound Detector module, depending on the specifications. Adjust the gain of the amplifier circuit, if necessary, to achieve the desired volume level. Once the connections are made, power on the circuit and test it by making sounds near the Sound Detector module. The detected audio signals should be amplified by the circuit and played through the speaker.
