Hi everyone.
I have been searching the whole internet but can't find what i want. I want to make a Zigbee LED dimmer using 0-10v signal and connect it somehow to Google Home or maybe even Smart Things. I want to be able to control the lights the same way i control for example Philips Hue lights. On/off, 0-100%.
i think my project like this.
An Arduino with wifi/zigbee module that can be added to Google Home/Assistent app.
The Arduino can then receive a Serial.read input command that translates to a analogWrite output command that sends a PWM signal to a analog converter 0-10v. Like this one: (PWM till spänning omvandlingsmodul 0-100% PWM till 0-10V spänning Försäljning - Banggood Sverige-arrival notice-arrival notice)
That 0-10v signal can then control my LED lights.
I have seen other projects with a relay on/off with google home etc but not with the dimmer function.
I have a little experience of Arduino with a Lightberry Ambilight project and i will start with learning control the PWM output and then try to implement it with Zigbee communication.
What will be the best hardware for this? i want to keep it as small as possible.
Is a Arduino MKR 1000 enough or does it need a Xbee shield? I dont know where to start.
Thanks in advance!
