WoW! DrZzs himself! I'm honored! :) Unfortunately, I'm "too small" to think about mass production. Maybe someday. But if you'd like to solder it yourself, I'll be more than happy to send you a set of PCBs. You inspired me to start this channel, so this is the least I could do to thank you.
Yeah, mass production is a great idea, but (there is always one of those) with mass production and sales comes product liability, UL and CE testing, etc., etc. Basically, if you buy one of these and install it, you could run into big financial problems. For example, house burns to ground (unless it's an underground WHobbit hole...then it just goes up in smoke) the insurance investigator attributes that fire to a non-UL/CE listed device and poof no insurance money for you....maybe

Hi, impressive PCBs and assembly in this small package. The only thing missing from these designs are LEDs for each input / output. I work in BMS (Boulding Management System), something like SmatHome but for entire factories and large buildings. And the LEDs for the IO make diagnostics much easier if something is malfunctioning.
There were LEDs in the previous revision of the HUB. I removed them deliberately and consciously :) As you can see, the HUB is locked in the box at all the time. So I wouldn't have noticed them anyway.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome While that is obviously your decision to make and may be sensible for your use case it is definitely a deficit, when considering you are also trying to sell it to others. Personally I think it would have been a better choice to make the LEDs optional since it costs basically nothing to add the traces and not use them, especially if you had already created them.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome add a small header for them maybe that way if people want them they can add them with a connecter to mount an led to the case for example
@@SmartSolutionsForHome In all honesty, I would love to have more indicator LEDs. As from your video, you could have most behind the door, while "opening the door" would provide a much larger set of indicator LEDs. Having those really really really gives you a lot of quick "debug" options I would argue.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome it really is a fantastic system that you've put together. I've currently got an M5stack board with a temp sensor attached running in my son's room; the board is great as it has a screen and a few buttons included, but I'd love to expand its functionality and have more sensors and switches running from it. I need to make it look nice so I can wall mount it too.
Dude! This is crazy. I'm throughout impressed about the really amazing modular design, meticulous details about power management and connectivity and amazing execution. It's not often that I see a genius and you are definitely one!
This is the first video of yours I have seen and it is great! The project was amazing and you have a great mix of professionalism and humor. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Sebastian this is brilliant! Especially the modularity of the components, which make it so much more practical. This is the first video I've watched and have subscribed due to your excellent work!
OMG. That project is amazing. Just less than a couple of months ago I was evaluating options to manage all the relays and inputs for a future home projects. I was surprised by the lack of options. Either there were enterprise PLCs costing thousands of dollars and requiring proprietary soft to configure or just simple DIY devices a-la simple relay board connected to raspberry pi via Arduino. And most of those devices are not even din-rail mountable! Additionally to that, I'm really addicted to esphome. The ability to program simple local automation but leave connectivity for home assistant is a blessing. Looking at your hub, I feel that it checks all the boxes I was looking for. Amazing work, cannot wait to build or buy that.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome Sure I will :) What is your experience with such compact placement of SSRs? Do you use them directly to power appliances or use them to switch external relays? If you power appliances via SSRs directly, is heat dissipation good enough?
Wow, pretty impressive and congratulations. I especially liked the fact that you admitted the mistake regarding the cover not fitting at the end. We all makes mistakes and it feels very human (and unscripted) when someone admits this on a video that they've uploaded themselves. Fantastic project!
I am so glad I found this video!!! I was planning to do a project just like this when I build my new home in a year or so. I was thinking an esp32 in each room to control it. It is nice to find that a lot of work has already been done on this idea. Maybe I will video it and post so you can see this type of system in a new home build.
Fantastic and outstanding work👌 I wish I could do the same system to my house. I am also very much the same as you, old school electrician and a hard-wired, oriented person 😅 Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Keep up the marvellous work 👍
Dude, I love your content. After coming upon your content today, I can't stop watching your videos. It will be exciting to see what you have up next. Good luck Sebastian.

Very impressive project and great video to describe it. Next to the project itself there must quite the work in the video as well. Would love to see another video about your home set up, on which sensors and devices you have connected.
Impressive stuff will look forward to some more on this although i doubt i would ever goto this kinda length i still find it interesting to see how its all put together.
Thank you! For now, I'm selling only PCBs. As of today, I've no plans to sell all ready-made devices. Unfortunately, the current prices and availability of components would make it very complicated. Nothing can be planned, neither the final price nor the completion date. And I would not like to disappoint anyone, so I won't do it at all, for now.
Bazylion 😂 Love the new one, but the old one looks more industrial 😃 Really fun and interesting project! Must feel a little sad to remove the old one, even though it is crazy fun with something new that you also created? Can't wait to see more! 😃
Agree, the old HUB looked more industrial and more complicated. It had a whole lot of unnecessary features. That was the whole clue of this migration, make it as simple as possible. I was a bit sad when I disassembled it .. But as a souvenir I've this video where I can remember what it used to be :)

Hej, dzieki wielkie! Rozważałem użycie podstawek ale niestety na wysokosć się nie zmieściłem. Być może jeśli się zdecyduje na kolejną rewizję to bardziej z tym pokombinuję. Ja w poprzedniej rewizji przez 2 lata nie miałem problemu z nawet jedną sztuką. Być może miałeś pechową partię.
I did something similar 10+ years ago. Actually couple automation islands like this interconnected with a ring rs-485 bus. Since the creation of ESP8266 such a setup makes no sense at all in a home environment. It is much quicker and cheaper to use local control loops using Shelly actuators (dimmers, relays etc.) and deploy redundant Wi-Fi network (two routers with mosquito mqtt brokers and virtual ip failover using vrrp/keepalived). Such decentralized setup is relatively inexpensive and reliable as it has no single points of failure regarding direct control (e.g. switch to light bulb). You can even live without the Wi-Fi redundancy - in case of failure / downtime / upgrade you lighting still works. Every married man should understand the benefits here.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome my dream is to build my own house in the near future and have something like this in it but had not found a solution yet This sure checks a lot of boxes :) The problem now with my HA is that it’s mostly wireless stuff and it works good but there are still moments that lights won’t switch directly due to interference and I also want the possibility that if Home Assistant has an issue and is offline or something that the basic lighting still can function, and this can make that happen. In my current house it’s not doable to achieve this but in a future house it absolutely is.
Really Good job. In the USA unless it is UL listed - no go, as well as wire colors. Very clean install. (Jealous). Wanted to do the same but waiting for MATTER to be completed and generally I prefer inbox controls like Shelly's. But if you don't like any switches in the walls - your solution is the way to go. [Also makes me think of so many stupid custom hacked commercial installs with PLC's and a proprietary software + no din mounting]. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I'm also waiting for MATTER. You hear more and more about it and it promises to be really good. Recently I was at Embedded World exhibition and a lot of producers had or will have something compatible with MATTER.
This is insanely cool. So well made, looks better than most commercially available appliances. Very cool, and a very under-rated channel. +1 sub from me :)
Regarding the wiring colour scheme, just sleeve the wires with brown sleeving to make it compliant. (Or whichever colour matches the phase you're using.)
@@SmartSolutionsForHome You can use just some isolation tape to indicate live wires + maybe brother laber maker to label them as "fazowy\live\hot" :D And yeah, Brother label maker, because Dyno paper now have DRM, so you need to buy paper from them on newer machines ^^
Damn dude! This is an awesome piece! I’m curious, can you dim the lights and what kinds of lightswitches do you use? Just normal lightswitches or some with possibilities for scenes and such! Anyways great work, was thinking about doing this only using plc, but this is next level! Wired things are so much better than wireless
You are right, of course. I was in a bit of a hurry, hence such inaccuracies. Maybe I'll cut the plexi on the CNC, it'll be quite perfect then :) I'll show it on the community card if I manage to do it.
I'm very glad to see such excellent works. I have always had similar ideas, but I don't know how to realize them. I really want to have it, but now the chip is too expensive, and I'm afraid to step back. There is another question. Is this drawn using easy EDA? It would be great if you can change the chip package yourself, because dip28 is relatively cheaper.👍👍👍
This is amazing. I'd definitely buy one today! Do you have any phase cut dimming channels for lights or do you managing dimming on the luminaires themselves via some other communication?
Thanks! Unfortunately, this device cannot "cut phase". The switching frequency is definitely too low. I don't use dimming in my home but such a device would be fabulously simple. It's a nice idea for the next device!
Very cool project and extremely reliable design, I'm surprised a single esp32 running esphome could run that much I/O, unfortunately it sacrifices alot of features like dimming, kelvin coloring and rgb coloring on the lights. I would like to build a scaled down version for sensor inputs doors/windows and maybe motion.
Thanks, In this project, I didn't actually envisage more advanced light control options, but.. it can be done. Many pins of this ESP32 module are unused. So it's possible to add support for dimming, color temperature or full RGB. Of course, it would require a design modification, but it's feasible :)
So this is just like the SuperhouseTV system that he designed and built about 4 years ago. Good to have options, and it look like you have pretty decent integration.
I don't know the SuperhouseTV's system. But I'll be glad to learn about it. Do you have a link to a specific video? There are a lot of them on his channel, and I don't know which one to watch.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome the two I would start with are "SuperHouse #24: Home automation system architecture" and "SuperHouse #25: Rack mount Arduino / MQTT light switch controller for home automation" from 2017. That was the first iteration of the system, it has now developed into so much more. The first version of the light switch controller, spawned a lot of discussion over on the Discord server, and that developed into a second version of it using I2C, which expanded the I/O possibilities. Then some very smart software people started getting involved (I was doing my own software version at the time, because I was trying to achieve something slightly different) and the idea of it just controlling lights expanded into other things like door switches, etc etc. The software kept developing to incorporate new switch types and sensors to the point it is now quite a robust system to work with the open source hardware SuperHouseTV developed. Several people have developed similar ideas but Jon's (SuperhouseTV) is the most complete I have seen. It is designed in such a way that you can use any front end you want. So if you prefer Home Assistant over OpenHAB then you can choose the interface you prefer. The system is capable of talking to virtually any device that uses MQTT to pass messages. As the idea grew other people started to build their own add-ons to the system, so the hardware side of things has plenty of options. The system is now called "The Open eXtensible Rack System", and if you do a search for OXRS Docs you will find out what the project is all about.
This video was amazing, i enjoyed it a lot and my mind is running wild with all the possibilities, but the most amazing thing about the main module as a platform is that you could design different expansion modules for all the nice stuff everyone is asking about in the comments; dimming, color temp or full RGB and so on. Excellent project; i will be following your channel.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome you could do a kickstarter campaign for funding and have a few thousand pf these made after you have ironed out the issues with the initial design. I would buy one and i know many more folks would do so as well.
Just Incredible! I really admire your work! But I can't possibly do this myself... I thinking about buying the shelly pro switches, have you used them? How does it compare to yours? They do about the same thing right?
Great project, thank you for sharing. I implemented similar idea with PCF8575s, but sometimes are not so reliable so I plan to migrate to MCPs but it takes forever to get them... Have you encountered the limit of entities in ESPHome? When having over approx 75 entities (inputs or outputs doesn't matter) on one esp32 esphome started to behave weirdly to me...
I understand you perfectly.. Currently, the purchase of MCPxx is almost a miracle. Not to mention the price from outer space.. As for the ESPHome: currently I've 64 binary sensors and 64 switches for MCP23017 chips, 1 binary sensor for Mains detecting and LED RGB. So currently I use 130 entities. And I don't have the slightest problem with stability. Maybe it's because I'm using the Ethernet port and not WiFi?
Hello, I would like to ask if you have considered using some advanced communication protocol like rs485, canbus or other? what convinced you to connect all switches separately? In few months, i am gonna do wiering in my new home and iam thinking about using canbus to save some wires etc.
Woow great work... That is really impressive and inspiring at the same time. I just had a few questions... 1. Do you have any ideas/methods of handling dimmer lights using this hub? 2. Any recommendations on how to handle automatic rolling shutters and motorized curtains? 3. Any ideas on how to handle regular RGB/RGBW led strips or even addressable ones? 4. Can you please elaborate more on how the RJ45 sockets work with inputs? 5. What are the maximum safe load ratings for this solution (Amps/watts) per relay circuit? But man... I have to say... You're inspiring, keep up the great work, and amazing video quality. 👍🏼 Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks! :) 1. I'm working on it. 2. It depends on the motor of the roller shutters. But usually 3 wires are enough for this purpose. 3. In general, how would my HUB do this? Currently HUB cannot do it, but I want to make another module especially for RGB LEDs. 4. Its just a connector. It's the easiest way to connect the Ethernet cables to the HUB. 5. 2A per circuit.
Wow! I need this! Lets talk about mass production.

Definitely needs mass production! Also I would like a inputs only version. Great work!
I wondered if you had seen this.
Forgot to add: power consumption would be a nice addition ;)
Yeah, mass production is a great idea, but (there is always one of those) with mass production and sales comes product liability, UL and CE testing, etc., etc. Basically, if you buy one of these and install it, you could run into big financial problems. For example, house burns to ground (unless it's an underground WHobbit hole...then it just goes up in smoke) the insurance investigator attributes that fire to a non-UL/CE listed device and poof no insurance money for you....maybe

Nice design, well done
Thanks, Dave! :)
Love the idea. great video i have somthing similar in my pipeline. In few years..
Regarding the wiring colour scheme, just sleeve the wires with brown sleeving to make it compliant. (Or whichever colour matches the phase you're using.)
Thanks for the tip. I considered it, but... I didn't feel like doing it :P Assembly took me long, long hours. I had a bit of enough already.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome You can use just some isolation tape to indicate live wires + maybe brother laber maker to label them as "fazowy\live\hot" :D And yeah, Brother label maker, because Dyno paper now have DRM, so you need to buy paper from them on newer machines ^^
Very nice video, TNX.
The waves were crashing on the shore; it was a lovely sight.
Saw this on fb, this is cool...
Allot of time and effort has gone in to that. Well done ✔.
Thanks, Paul! :)
Damn dude! This is an awesome piece!
I’m curious, can you dim the lights and what kinds of lightswitches do you use? Just normal lightswitches or some with possibilities for scenes and such!
Anyways great work, was thinking about doing this only using plc, but this is next level! Wired things are so much better than wireless
Ive been looking for a smart home with nuclear power plant integration, thanks for this video
Super sprawa, jest podziw.
I loved the build. A little bit of edge trim around the hole in the cover could clean that up nicely.
You are right, of course. I was in a bit of a hurry, hence such inaccuracies. Maybe I'll cut the plexi on the CNC, it'll be quite perfect then :) I'll show it on the community card if I manage to do it.
I'm very glad to see such excellent works. I have always had similar ideas, but I don't know how to realize them. I really want to have it, but now the chip is too expensive, and I'm afraid to step back. There is another question. Is this drawn using easy EDA? It would be great if you can change the chip package yourself, because dip28 is relatively cheaper.👍👍👍
What I understood from this video that smarness of you home depends on how smart you are.
I never thought of it that way, but... I think there's something in it :)
Amazing !!
Hello. I love your videos!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Incredible
Thank you!
He learned the important lesson that a picnic at the beach on a windy day is a bad idea.
Impressive!
impressive!
This is amazing. I'd definitely buy one today! Do you have any phase cut dimming channels for lights or do you managing dimming on the luminaires themselves via some other communication?
Thanks! Unfortunately, this device cannot "cut phase". The switching frequency is definitely too low. I don't use dimming in my home but such a device would be fabulously simple. It's a nice idea for the next device!
I second that!
Dobra robota!
Dzięki :)
Very cool project and extremely reliable design, I'm surprised a single esp32 running esphome could run that much I/O, unfortunately it sacrifices alot of features like dimming, kelvin coloring and rgb coloring on the lights. I would like to build a scaled down version for sensor inputs doors/windows and maybe motion.
Thanks, In this project, I didn't actually envisage more advanced light control options, but.. it can be done. Many pins of this ESP32 module are unused. So it's possible to add support for dimming, color temperature or full RGB. Of course, it would require a design modification, but it's feasible :)
TY Good Work There
Top Project.
Very, very, very nice....speachless. Just analog I/O is missing to me. To control valves for heating/cooling, for dimming lights etc...
Awsome.! Good Job dude.
Thank you so much 😀
So this is just like the SuperhouseTV system that he designed and built about 4 years ago. Good to have options, and it look like you have pretty decent integration.
I don't know the SuperhouseTV's system. But I'll be glad to learn about it. Do you have a link to a specific video? There are a lot of them on his channel, and I don't know which one to watch.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome the two I would start with are "SuperHouse #24: Home automation system architecture" and "SuperHouse #25: Rack mount Arduino / MQTT light switch controller for home automation" from 2017. That was the first iteration of the system, it has now developed into so much more.
The first version of the light switch controller, spawned a lot of discussion over on the Discord server, and that developed into a second version of it using I2C, which expanded the I/O possibilities. Then some very smart software people started getting involved (I was doing my own software version at the time, because I was trying to achieve something slightly different) and the idea of it just controlling lights expanded into other things like door switches, etc etc. The software kept developing to incorporate new switch types and sensors to the point it is now quite a robust system to work with the open source hardware SuperHouseTV developed.
Several people have developed similar ideas but Jon's (SuperhouseTV) is the most complete I have seen. It is designed in such a way that you can use any front end you want. So if you prefer Home Assistant over OpenHAB then you can choose the interface you prefer. The system is capable of talking to virtually any device that uses MQTT to pass messages.
As the idea grew other people started to build their own add-ons to the system, so the hardware side of things has plenty of options. The system is now called "The Open eXtensible Rack System", and if you do a search for OXRS Docs you will find out what the project is all about.
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; theres only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
You are a genius!!
I don't think so, but thank you very much :)
YOU are so AMAZING, thanks for sharing it...👍👍👍...love it...
I'm glad you like my project :)
This video was amazing, i enjoyed it a lot and my mind is running wild with all the possibilities, but the most amazing thing about the main module as a platform is that you could design different expansion modules for all the nice stuff everyone is asking about in the comments; dimming, color temp or full RGB and so on.
Excellent project; i will be following your channel.
"Coding is boring, so lets skip that"
BASED
Very great video and products
Thanks :)
Amazing! I’d also be interested in being able to buy this as a commercial product!
Thank you. And as for commercialization.. maybe one day! The market for electronic components is too volatile. For now, I'm selling only PCBs.
@@SmartSolutionsForHome you could do a kickstarter campaign for funding and have a few thousand pf these made after you have ironed out the issues with the initial design. I would buy one and i know many more folks would do so as well.
Awesome project !
Is the follow up video coming soon ?
Can`t wait !
I'm glad you like it! I'll definitely make a follow-up, but I can't say exactly when.
Just Incredible! I really admire your work! But I can't possibly do this myself... I thinking about buying the shelly pro switches, have you used them? How does it compare to yours? They do about the same thing right?
Thanks! I've never used shelly pro switches, so I don't really know what they can do.
O. Fajna rzecz!
Dzięki!
good job👍👏👏👏👏
Good effort
Great project, thank you for sharing. I implemented similar idea with PCF8575s, but sometimes are not so reliable so I plan to migrate to MCPs but it takes forever to get them...
Have you encountered the limit of entities in ESPHome? When having over approx 75 entities (inputs or outputs doesn't matter) on one esp32 esphome started to behave weirdly to me...
I understand you perfectly.. Currently, the purchase of MCPxx is almost a miracle. Not to mention the price from outer space.. As for the ESPHome: currently I've 64 binary sensors and 64 switches for MCP23017 chips, 1 binary sensor for Mains detecting and LED RGB. So currently I use 130 entities. And I don't have the slightest problem with stability. Maybe it's because I'm using the Ethernet port and not WiFi?
Nice build! I’ve designed something similar but the lack of supply of MCPs is pretty painful…
Tell me about it.. You don't want to know where I got these chips from :P
Hello, I would like to ask if you have considered using some advanced communication protocol like rs485, canbus or other? what convinced you to connect all switches separately? In few months, i am gonna do wiering in my new home and iam thinking about using canbus to save some wires etc.
Woow great work... That is really impressive and inspiring at the same time. I just had a few questions...
1. Do you have any ideas/methods of handling dimmer lights using this hub?
2. Any recommendations on how to handle automatic rolling shutters and motorized curtains?
3. Any ideas on how to handle regular RGB/RGBW led strips or even addressable ones?
4. Can you please elaborate more on how the RJ45 sockets work with inputs?
5. What are the maximum safe load ratings for this solution (Amps/watts) per relay circuit?
But man... I have to say... You're inspiring, keep up the great work, and amazing video quality. 👍🏼 Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks! :)
1. I'm working on it.
2. It depends on the motor of the roller shutters. But usually 3 wires are enough for this purpose.
3. In general, how would my HUB do this? Currently HUB cannot do it, but I want to make another module especially for RGB LEDs.
4. Its just a connector. It's the easiest way to connect the Ethernet cables to the HUB.
5. 2A per circuit.
