Description
This IoT 1-channel Solid-State relay controller was designed to host many different IoT communication modules, including Particle Photon, Electron, Bluz, Arduino, and many more. This controller is based on the MCP23008, a common I2C interface chip for GPIO applications. In this design, the GPIO port is used to control a solid-state relay. Seven programmable Digital Input/Output port pins are also available via screw terminals for use in Contact Closure detection applications or monitor and control external TTL circuits. Three on-board address jumpers allow up to 8 similar devices (based on the MCP23008 or MCP23017) to be chained to the same I2C bus for individual control. On-board status LED displays the on/off status of the relay. This controller may be powered using our optional power supply or with 12VDC and direct screw terminal connection of bare power wires. The solid-state relay is accessible to the user via two large screw terminals, capable of accepting 12 AWG wires. This controller includes many solid-state relay options, customized when added to your shopping cart.
IFTTT
Leverage the power of IFTTT.com and Particle services to do almost anything. Send a tweet if someone rings your doorbell, send a notification to your phone if someone opens a door, turn on almost anything right from your phone with a simple setup, the possibilities are endless. QATALYTIC provides this controller with an optional pre-programmed Particle Photon module for easy connection to IFTTT. No programming required! Just use the simple IFTTT interface to set up your different configurations.
Powered By Particle
Give your Particle Photon the power to interact with the real world in ways never before possible. Use the optional Particle Photon module pre-flashed with our custom IFTTT firmware, QATALYTIC compatible shields allow for control of many types of relays, monitoring digital and analog sensors, and much much more. Chain I²C accessory boards to your system to add whatever you may need for your next control and automation project.
What is the QATALYTIC IoT Interface?
The QATALYTIC IoT Interface provides users with a means of changing or upgrading the IoT communications technology as new technologies emerge. The QATALYTIC IoT Interface is directly compatible with Particle Photon for WiFi communications, Electron for Cellular Communications, Bluz for Bluetooth. Optionally, adapters may be installed to provide a direct interface to Arduino Nano, Micro, USB, PyCom WyPy, Onion Omega, Raspberry Pi, and much more. The QATALYTIC IoT interface allows you to re-use your hardware so it never becomes obsolete! Based on I2C communications, the QATALYTIC IoT Interface uses only 2 GPIO lines of your microcontroller, freeing the rest of your CPU for other tasks.
