Project “Villa”, home automation from Tuya devices

Hello readers,

this time I want to talk with you about a project I’m following for a friend of mine. He have a villa which he recently restructured and he basically started with the electricians to implement in his house this new kind of controllers for lights and curtains.

The system is easy to configure but the problem he had was the fact that the curtain controller was not compatible with the curtains motors he installed.
Basically the controllers was meant to work with a 3 wires motors but the motors are meant to be controlled with RF remote.

What are we using?

The controller is branded Jinvoo and inside is controlled by an ENC8266 on which runs a firmware owned from Tuya.
This controller is installed in a wall-mount and is meant to control a motor through 3 wires. Through this cables he is able to tell the motor in which direction he have to spin and the controller can read the current absorption to learn and check in which position is the roll-up curtain.

Keep on reading!

Back at Home and…, PARTY!

Hello to everybody! I’m back at home and I’m still on the couch, but this time is mine! These days are really beautiful and outside people are celebrating the carnival while I’m seated having a really chill day to rehab after the party of Yesterday.

PARTY? yes, yesterday we had a house warming party here at home with friends and it came out pretty good. Food and alcool mixed with caraoke just to wake up this morning at 14:23.
I cleaned the kitchen and my wife the floor and now I’m a bit bored because I don’t know what to do, so here I’m writing on this blog again and I had spent some time to improve a bit the graphical content as you can see.

I don’t really know who you are but some fucking dude from USA tried to hack this website in the past days and doesn’t look like he made it. XD

As I said is carnival but cause of this Corona Virus many events have been cancelled and still I don’t know what will I do this Tuesday. I just hope this epidemic will be cured and the damages limited.

Well in the meanwhile I’m working on a project in a Villa of a friend of mine and I’m actually trying to write a actual good article about the works so you will be able to actually read something interesting on this v1t.it blog I have.

See you on the next update.

The first one, after Hello World!

Hello, I’m Marco and actually I’m seated on the couch of a friend of my wife in Amsterdam “enjoying” his view from the 9th floor. I spent the last days realizing which was the best solution to manage my VPS to host this blog and I’m completely out of energy cause of those open-source admin panels you may find online. I want things done in a certain way and many of you will be saying: “why opening a blog on technology if you are neither able to set up a hosting manager?” SECURITY, yes right that actually now I’m with Plesk and I’m ok. It does what it has to do and has lots of security tips and tricks for you.

But beside that I will like to have a place where to trow all my adventures and my thoughts. Still I don’t know if I will really do it or if this will be the last post you will see, I neither payed the host for a long term.

Probably if you are reading this you must have lot of time to trow away and actually this blog is running on the basic theme of wordpress without a graphic content and any idea of how it will be looking tomorrow, if there’s will be one.

As you can see looks like I’m under effect of alcool but I’m just super tired and I want sleep.

This is my first post.

Goodnight World!
