TINYCONTROL set with LAN controller v3 for measuring 3-phase consumption

Tinycontrol LAN-MOD-3F

The set includes a LAN controller, power source and 3-current non-invasive sensors for measuring power and consumption on a 3-phase supply. Values can be read via the Internet and the Android application.

The LAN controller is a smart device with the ability to connect many sensors. In addition, it is possible to supplement it with a GSM module and have values or changes in values sent via SMS. However, thanks to the support of MQTT communication via LAN, this is not necessary, and you can view consumption graphs via the Internet and current values also via a mobile application for phones with the Android system. It comes with a quality 24V, 0.8A power supply.

Measurements via the supplied current sensors must be performed only on one conductor, and not on the entire cable, where the current flows in both directions.

Sensors connect to inputs INPA1-4 and GND for these inputs. They are supplied including a 3.5 mm jack connector (male), which can be cut to the required length or a 3.5 mm jack connector (female) can be connected to the LAN controller with the wiring, see photos.

More information about the LAN driver

In addition, it is possible to program events and appropriate actions to meet conditions on any of the sensors. Suitable for many applications can be a scheduler that allows the device to be turned on/off at a certain time or for a certain period of time. There is also a PWM output for lighting or electric motor control.

Main changes compared to version V2

• new analog inputs, e.g. for measuring current using a current transformer
• UART interface for connecting external modules (ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Z-wave, LoRaWAN, SigFox, etc.)
• Combining the state of multiple inputs to output response
• Modern configuration environment

Usage examples

• Automatic heating control when the temperature drops or rises outside the set limit.
• Turn on/off lights or other devices
• Irrigation control/flood detection
• Security based on PIR sensor or door/window opening detection

Basic features

• 4 analog inputs with switchable gain - Measurement of voltage from 1 mV to 33 V, direct current, alternating current (additional sensors), thermocouples, distance sensors, photoresistors for lighting measurements and many others. (12-bit converter)
• 2 analog inputs up to 3.3 V - for measuring DC voltage and current (intended for sensors)
• 1Wire and I2C input - 6x DS18B20 temperature sensor and 2x I2C sensor, e.g. AM2320
• 4 logical inputs
• 1 relay (NC, NO, C)
• 1 transistor output, provides supply voltage at the output, to control devices with a current draw of up to 1 A
• 4 transistor (OC) outputs for switching relays
• 4 PWM outputs
• UART interface for communication with external devices via serial port
• Cooperation with communication modules, such as LoRa, GSM and many others

The LAN controller is supplied with an installation box on a DIN rail

The manufacturer provides an MQTT cloud service for status display and control via the Internet. Thanks to this service outputs can be switched or controller LAN states can be monitored in the local network without routing settings, but service operation cannot be guaranteed. In the case of using the MQTT service, the mobile application can also be used, see the related documents below. It is available for Android devices and allows you to control the outputs and monitor the status and values of the inputs easily via your phone.
