Prototype 2 - Integrate my AC controller in side power switch to make the Switch Intelligent

My previous prototype was success. I am planing to move to the next stage where build this module inside the power switch witch will enable Intelligent capability.



I am planing to install power analyzer so I can save electisity using this model. For example: Say this power base is connected to a Refrigerator or Air conditioner witch actually 60% of average electricity bill. Now I can switch off or control AC power based on the actual power utilization witch I believe big save.

Just created the PCB and successfully installed the unit in side power switch. Now working on the software, Hopefully can start live test next week. Then I will publish the design.

Control 230V AC circuit via GSM (SMS or Voice)

Following is my prototype of control 230V AC circuit via GSM (SMS or Voice). This video shows AC 230 bulb can be switch on and off via SMS.

For this project I use Arduino mini pro micro controller, SIM900 GSM/GPS module and  5V to 250V relay.  Following are circuit design. This design use two layers and you need to use double side copper board. With this design I am using 16X2 LCD as display unit. You can ignore it if you want.
