Wireless Router Home Automation

Wireless Router Home Automation
This project eliminate the use of an expensive Wifi/Network Shield but still able to control home appliances from any where. You may already own a wireless router which support OpenWRT or else you can get a very cheap wireless router such as WR703N for this project.
 
In order to eliminate install many packages on the router, I am using HTML and Javascript for the web interface, while hardware interface is using Lua which is come with OpenWRT. The whole process is just install a serial driver (see step below) to make the instruction simple & keep the router free of resources.

Lua sleep function in milliseconds

Lua Socekt must be use in order to call sleep function in milliseconds.

An example to install Lua Socket to OpenWRT

opkg update
opkg install luasocket

 

An example to sleep 10 milliseconds

require "socket"
socket.sleep(0.010)

 

Lua can only sleep/wait in seconds (not milliseconds) without install Lua Socket. Code below shows the sleep funciton.

function delay_s(delay)
   delay = delay or 1
   local time_to = os.time() + delay
   while os.time() < time_to do end
end

 

Example to sleep 5 seconds

delay_s(5)

OpenWRT in Client Mode

OpenWRT in Client Mode
Client mode uses its wireless connection as the WAN interface, and shares the internet connection only to the LAN ports. It is not seen as an access point by laptops or other computers scanning for AP's and does not accept wireless connections from client devices.
 
As shown in figure below, the new SSID (wwan) cannot be seen by other client devices nor accept wireless connection from client devices. Therefore the client devices (Notebook3 and Notebook4) must connect to the Wifi router using network cable.
