This repository contain all you need to create from scratch a swing dual external shutter windows opener Apple Homekit opener: from mechanical to electronical parts.
This project would help everyone to create itself an automated swing shutter window opener using modern vocie assistant at lowest price (in Italy commercial product have a price of 500€ for each window, and there isn't a commercial product able to communicate with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit); the objective is to obtain a working product more cheaper than commercial products.
- operator on sight (no need to include it in the wall);
- installation in top of existing window
- from internal of home: open first right windows and then left windows (reverse action for closing)
- window size minimum width 80 cm ???
- available depth minimum 11 cm ???
- motor section:
- opener for 2 doors max 40KG??? of weights for each door
- max/min dimensions of shutter windows ????
- manage power on n.2 DC Motor 24VDC?; the absorbed power is equal to 24 VA, the no-load absorption is 0.2 A, the load one is 1 A, the output torque is 40 Nm, the reduction is equal to 1/4380, the rotation speed corresponds to 1.5 revolutions per minute, the opening time is 18 sec; they are soundproofed, exactly 33 dB with 230 Volt synchronized movement, the mechanical clutch is windproof; 6 RPM?
- delay in opening and closing: when opening, first open right window and then left window; when closing first close left window and then right window;
- opening/closing slowdown;
- 2 motor with worm screw to open swing windows at 180 degree;
- irreversible engine
- opening/closing mode:
- full closing;
- full opening 180 degree;
- partial opening (10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90 %);
- electronic section:
- End of stroke of the motors should be controlled measuring the current or power
- manage power to send to motors: 0,6 0,9 1,2 2 Ampere
- delay to stop motor after too high current consumption 100 or 300 ms
- space useful for electronic board (PCB): 6,5 x 11 cm ???
- principal power supply 230 VAC 50-60Hz
- control using Apple HomeKit via WiFi using ESP82xx at 2.4 GHz
- not use 433 MHz (less secure)
- manual motor release from internal of house for emergency
- metal box to install DC motor, electronic mainboard
- little space to install between external and internal window
- protection IP24 or IP44???
- low costs
- emergency opening/closing in case of power outage
- respect EU laws
- close sensor (I can mov this to inital version because it's very simple attach reed sensor: 1 side without wire to the window and the other one nead ESP; use this sensor is raccomanded for secuirty matters)
- simplest version for 1 door
- open sensor
- solar panels similar to it https://ducatihome.it/collections/persy/products/persy-sol
- battery similar to it https://ducatihome.it/collections/persy/products/bat-0212
- wall button
- control using Alexa, Google Home
- detection obstacle, wind, ice (using PM, contact, motion detection, resistive safety rib of 8,2KOhm or 16KOhm...)
- adapt to other type of windows (padovana, trevigiana, vicentina, vicentina rovesciata, libro)
- anti-crushing system
- lock mechanism similar to it https://ducatihome.it/collections/persy/products/persy-lock https://ducatihome.it/collections/persy/products/persy-block
- calibration procedure
- include DC motors and electronics in the wall
- n.2 metal crank mechanism to connect DC motor to windows similar to it https://ducatihome.it/collections/persy/products/arko-2 I think it's easier buy it!

- ESP8266 with WIFI (it require a WIFI infrastructure): 1 o 2 relay with 1 NC sensor using HAA firmware (no PM feature available now)
- n.1 power supply 220V->24VDC (or use electronic board to pwoer also DC Motors????)
- electronic for control delay and PM (maximum dimension 77 mm x 50 mm x ???)????? example: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/32833407097.html

- wiring between mainboard and power supply 220 VAC (n.2 x 1-1.5 mm);
- buy list of materials
- assembler all-in-one solution
- we have 3 ways to automate a self made swing window opener: A) use a commercial garage swing gate opener + ESP82xx with 1 relay dry contact without PM , with HAA firmware; B) use an unique PCB with ESP82xx, 4 relay 24VDC, PM features, with TASMOTA firmware and then integrate via HOME ASSISTANT to HOMEKIT C) use an unique PCB with ESP82xx, 4 relay 24VDC, PM features, ... with HAA firmware, when HAA will support PM??!?!?!

This project don't be useful to other type of windows dirrerent from swing shutter window (padovana/trevigiana, vicentina, vicentina rovescia, vicentina 3 ante, ante legate, scorrrevole, ...) AAA looking for CAD designer 2D/3D, mechanical expert, eletronical expert
