Homely WSN Basic Board (V1) is an IoT board to collect environmental data (temperature, humidity and pressure) and to push them to a centralized server through Wi-Fi.

Main components

• ESP8266 (ESP-12S, ESP-WROOM-2D)
• Digital temperature and humidity sensor Sensirion SHT30
• Digital temperature and pressure sensor Bosch BMP280
• RTC Maxim Integrated DS3231
• Reset and User buttons
• Switch ON/OFF
• Low quiescent current LDO Analog Device ADP160
• USB-C connector for power supply

Assembling

The entire board is manually assemblable, no stencil is required. Hot air gun will be necessary for BMP280 and SHT30.

Usage

You need an external USB-serial converter to upload the firmware. You may use this, designed to be pin-compatible with this board.

The firmware will be published on Github, but it still requires a bit of work.

After flashing firmware, you need you solder the SJ2 to enable deep-sleep.

Changelog

• 1.0.0 ✅: first version, I have no complain. Here you can find a 3D-printable case to protected the circuit.
• 2.0.0 ❔: update buttons footprint; ESP12->ESP02; add JST PH 2-pin for battery; 0805->0603 package; USB sliglhy exposed; add mount hole; new logo; Errata corrige: C2 is 100nF
• 2.0.1 ✅: fix copper area behind antenna. 3D-pritable case

Versioning conventions

Each manufactured board must have a version. Version advancements are ruled accordingly to Semantic Versioning, similarly to what usually happens in software development.

To quickly identify the status of each version, I use emojis. The following list explains their meaning:

• A White Heavy Check Mark (✅) means that it is successfully tested;
• A Negative Squared Cross Mark (❎) means that it was almost successfully tested (the main functionalities are fine), but there are bugs affecting minor funcionalities;
• A Warning Sign (⚠) means that the board is not usable out of the box but the bugs are fixable in DIY (decent) fashion;
• A Cross Mark (❌) means that there are some problems that makes it unusable;
• A White Question Mark Ornament (❔) means not tested.

Future work:

• Header 1.27mm for programming
• keep 1mm of margin from the border to allow case's hooks
