Control Water Pump using ESP8266 ESP12E (DRAFT)
Goal: Safely control water pump from remote
Requirements: Obtain a clean/stable output voltage; Address potential problems (relay contact soldering); Use contactor to drive pump
Specifications: Water pump power requirement 880W; PCB input is 9VDC; AC relay control pin 5V; ESP8266 (actually it’s an ESP12-E) needs 3.3V; contactor is AC220V (both power and control pins); LM317 will step down the 9VDC input to 3.3V for ESP8266; an extra 7805 will provide power for the relay
Points to be checked: temperature (very hot in August in the loft), check relay and contactor temperature when coil is excited
Components: ESP8266, relay, 7b rated contactor
