RTC Power Point Timer
Summary
If you’ve been thinking about how you’d control a 240V appliance with an Arduino without worrying about getting zapped, then here is a solution. We’ve developed a project that interfaces to our MS6148 Remote Controlled Mains Outlet using a 433MHz transmitter. Building on the simplicity of the Arduino Clock, we’ve added the 433MHz transmitter and some extra code, which gives the following features:
Switch appliances off or on with a minute of resolution
Time is saved when power off
Up to 99 timers can be programmed
Can be set for any day of the week, or all days, weekdays or weekends
Can be set to turn single channel or all channels on or off
Manual control of transmitter for setup and troubleshooting
And being Arduino, there’s nothing to stop you taking the code apart and adding your own features.
