Showcases needed

[slaff]

We are interested in gathering information about hardware and software where Sming Framework is used. This will help us, the core developers, understand better what Sming is used for and act as an additional inspiration to the community.

Those of you that would like to share your projects with us make sure to include.

• Name (or code-name) of the project
• Short description
• (Nice-to-have) URL to the project
• License (Commercial or closed-source projects are also fine)
• (Nice-to-have) if we are talking about a real device a picture or a gallery of pictures would be nice.

Thank you in advance!

I can't provide you with any materials yet since my work is in beta stage, however my current projects that rely on Sming (and I find it the "killer app" for my consumer embedded projects) are listed below.

I think of Sming as the tool enabling "industry 4"-like embedded development, particularly getting the low-level code and hardware into "microservices".

For example, may I have several working devices such as:

• temperature sensor;
• flow meter;
• motor driver;

I can combine them (high level logic via mqtt or similar) to build a heat meter (two temperature sensors and a flow meter), EEV (in HVAC - Electronic Expansion Valve) consisting of two temperature sensors and a stepper motor driver, and etc.

Similar ideas I found in the EspEasy project where one can write a script-like taking mqtt messages as input.

Excuse me for the lack of project names, however I didn't think of them because of the development stage. Also all my projects are intended to be commercial. Later I may open source some of them. I hope Sming will give me a boost for my career.

About my current projects:

• Heat meter To monitor the heat energy produced for house heating. Consists of a flow meter and two DS18 sensors. Let me spare you some time. Use higher accuracy sensors, like PT1000 with the required interface. DS18 isn't accurate enough for this task.

• Electricity meter To track the energy consumed by different devices. Uses CS5460A. This IC is widely available in many "kill-a-watt" power meters.

• Batteryless low power wireless sensor bridge (relying on nRf24L01) For batteryless sensor network (for fun and my university thesis).

• High temperature sensor module This module is used to monitor the temperature of the hot gases in the chimney. Servo motor is used to control the air supply of a wood stove.

• EEV controller For setting the EEV's position for optimal performance in AC unit.

Wish you luck and kind regards to the core developers!
