It is a project of a home made driver for all the necessary equipment in a house: central heating, solar installation and fan. A central heating and pump to heat water driver was modified and developed. The device uses triacs and digital sensors DS18B20.
The driver is based on:
Atmega8
optotriacs: MOC 3022x4
triacs: bt 138 x4
temperature sensors DS18B20 x4
While writing the software, you may face problems in communication with many sensors: simply too much cable. This can be solved by reducing the resistance of the pull-up resistor +5V to the line of data of sensors DS18B20 and increasing the waiting time for a bit of 1Wire.
