STEVAL-BLUEPLUG1

Evaluation board for home automation and IoT (internet of things) applications is designed to help develop own home or building automation subsystems for energy management in a small form factor solution for easy integration into home and building electrical systems. The board is compliant with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) specification 4.2 to allow secure communication of metering data from specific electrical loads to a smart phone with BLE support. Users can use an Android application for smart phone to display energy measurement parameters and send dimming and scheduling commands to the smart plug board. This board embeds an STPM32 metering chip for high accuracy measurement of power and energy in power line systems using shunt current sensors, and a nonisolated buck converter supply based on the VIPER06Xs. A three-terminal TRIAC controls the current through AC switching. Users can also interface the board with NFC enabled EEPROM via a dedicated connector.
