Auto Wi-Fi Power Management



It is no secret that life in cities and cities carries many hidden things that you are not able to notice at first sight. This also applies to wireless networks.

Over time, when I connected to my home wireless network, I began to see an increasing number of available networks in the list . I got the idea why, by my own example, not reduce this amount by one network when I sleep, or leave the room for a long time. Having studied the information in available sources, I came to the conclusion that I need a hardware device that could work autonomously, without meaningful control of it. Disabling on schedule or manually did not suit me.

Then I was puzzled by the search for a relay that could manage the power supply and at the same time could have a long delay in returning to its original state. As a basis, I used the timer RVO-1M. I got acquainted with the products of this manufacturer thanks to the publications of Electroshaman, and also used other modifications to protect the input from normal deviations. Perhaps some of you will consider my post to be advertising. But I really haven’t received so far from this profit, except for the advantages that I will indicate below. Any device that can close the load contacts when the sensor is triggered is suitable as a motion relay, and is powered by a single-phase household network directly, without using power supplies. I chose DR-06.



This is a photo relay with a motion sensor. I turned off the photoresistor function by adjustment, but in the future it can be used to control the lighting at the sensor installation site. I did not want to program, so this solution seemed to me very simple and reliable. I tried as simple as possible to explain the processes that take place in the scheme so that the article is understandable to children.

Let's look at the connection diagram:



Black is phase, blue is zero, yellow is earth. This phase is just that wire in which energy flows. Initially, the vibrations of the electrons are transmitted from the input to the circuit breaker, then passing through the circuit breaker they enter a small terminal box and are distributed to the motion and time relays. The motion relay at this moment starts working due to the fact that it is connected by pin N to the input. But our motion relay will not close the contacts N and L` until there is movement near it. At this point, we will accept the fact that there is no movement in our system yet and everyone is sleeping, or there is no one in the room, and let us return to what we are now looking at with the time relay. Electron vibrations reached contact A1 and due to the fact that our time switch is connected by contact N to the input, the device is ready for operation.Contacts 15 and 18 are normally open, that is, until the time relay has tripped 15 and 18 are not connected. To connect the contacts 15 and 18, it is necessary to connect the contacts A1 and Y1, that is, to make the electrons vibrate on the contact Y1. Now let's accept the fact that the movement in the apartment has begun and the motion sensor has triggered. Contacts L and L` in the motion sensor are closed. And this fact will just cause the fact that voltage appeared on pin Y1 of the motion relay, that is, the electrons there began to vibrate. Without delving into those processes that occur inside the time relay, what happened is that pins 15 and 18 are connected. And we got that pin 15 passed the voltage to the Schuko outlet, which our wireless equipment is connected to. That’s all according to the scheme.To connect the contacts 15 and 18, it is necessary to connect the contacts A1 and Y1, that is, to make the electrons vibrate on the contact Y1.

The time relay has different operating modes.



I chose mode number 24. The time interval is set by the switches on the relay itself. And the adjustment inside the interval is made by a circular regulator on the relay case. The time interval can be adjusted from 0.3 seconds to 10 hours.



I chose an interval of 10-100 minutes.



And he set the regulator inside the range to about 4.

In mode No. 24, when the control contact Y1 closes, contacts 15 and 18 close and the countdown starts. The countdown is interrupted by re-closing the control contact Y1. Contacts 15 and 18 will open if the interval between external start commands is longer than the set time delay. The relay turns on when the next external
start command is received .

  • The solution for small apartments.
    I installed a motion sensor in the corridor, the corridor is the center of all routes in the current apartment. In a new place of housing, I will most likely install a sensor in the living room, or I will use several sensors. It is important to select a long-range sensor. My current sensor triggers an arm movement of 8 meters. I chose the infrared range.
  • Permanently available devices must be connected via copper.
    If you work in your office for a long time, constant shutdowns of the wireless network can train your nervous system very easily. Therefore, in stationary workplaces I use copper.


Possible options for using the solution for other purposes.

  • The team at airing , the system can be podkyuchit channel fan and provide air movement when there is movement of people in the room.
  • The command to power multimedia devices in public places , through the system you can power the multimedia warning system, thereby devices will work when there is a movement of people nearby. A very useful feature for audio advertising in public places.

Do you turn off Wi-Fi at night? Would you like it to turn off automatically?
