This project outlines a comprehensive home automation system consisting of five separate PCBs: four module boxes and one control board, each with tailored functionalities. The wireless communication enables integration and ease of use, addressing issues found in existing commercial products like X10 and Lutron RadioRA. With specifications for various components including dimmers, rotary encoders, and IR devices, this design emphasizes reliability, compactness, and user-friendly manual operation, while ensuring safe separation from power circuitry to minimize noise interference.
