TrigBoardV7

...Back to Projects:

The trigBoard is an extremely low power platform for the ESP32 WiFi+Bluetooth Module. This board is perfect fo battery powered applications, due to it's single digit uA standby current draw. To give an idea as to how low this current draw is, a cheap smoke detector pulls about 7uA. The trigBoard contains a playground of low power features:

• Many battery options, with input voltage range from 1.8-5V. Perfect for two AAA batteries or even a rechargeable Lithium cell at 4.2V. Reverse polarity protection built in, so no issue if batteries are plugged in backwards.
• Multiple wake sources all configurable through software (no more solder jumpers)
• Dry contact trigger input supporting BOTH contact open and contact close, but of course configurable for either or both, so if for example a garage door was monitored, a push notification could go out for when the garage opens AND when the garage closes.
• The board utilizes an actual RTC (Real Time Clock). This is high quality RTC, so now accurate wake times can be configured. The timer wakes the board up at the configured time - for example once and hour, then checks the battery voltage and if low, will send out a push notification. The timer can also be used to check the current status of the contact and send out a notification, so in the garage door example, the board can be configured to not only send out notifications when the door opens/closes, but also when the garage is left open for some period of time.
• Wake button on board can also be used to send out a push notification.
• Unused pins from ESP32 broken out for future expansion and in-line to fit breadboards - developer friendly.
• Base Firmware supports many Push Notification service options like Pushsafer, Pushover, and IFTTT. And even develop a custom solution with MQTT and UDP messaging.
