Door/Window Alarm

Monitor (Home automation server)

  • WD PiDrive - will be used to store video from cameras.
  • GungHo PiDrive - about the same price but directly attaches to the Pi. Might not have the power savings provided by WD PiDrive.

AC Control

  1. TRIACs: Low cost, high current handling capability.
  2. Traditional relay: moving parts, relatively low cost, very high current
  3. Solid State Relay: Higher cost, no moving parts. Advantage over TRIACs is that SSR can interrupt current at any point in the AC waveform. TRIACs only cut off current at the zero-crossing point.

DC Control

TBD

Stepper Motor Control

  1. TI DRV8811: Integrated FETs, up to 1.9A per coil http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8811.pdf
  2. (Toshiba?) TB6612: Used on adafruit and other boards: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2448 Documentation/sourcing appears limited
