Renesas Quick-Connect IoT Design Challenge

Traffic Tunnel Sensor Hub for prolonged warranties against gases, using ZMOD4510EVZ

Remote sprinkler controller that gets rain information from internet for smart irrigation

Device in coin op washers and dryers that would alert via phone when the load was done

The EK-RA6M4 (Preferably the EK-RA6M5 for better program memory/RAM) for Remote RV Monitoring to send daily RV monitoring data (Battery & Solar Panel Voltage, LP tank status, Gray and Black Tank Level monitoring, RV temperatures (Inside, Underbelly, outside, creek water temp), GPS location, Motion sensors for security (Interior, exterior), Open/Close) Door sensors, Solar intensity, Air flow sensors for Wind direction/Speed, backup data transmission via Cell data SIM5320 module and Real Time alert notifications for some sensors. WiFi is supplied by 24/7/365 Public AP, so some security will be required.

Sensors that I am looking at (I like the ability to daisy-chain them:
- US082-FS2012EVZ but like the US082-FS3000EVZ 2 different approaches I can take
- US082-ZMOD4410EVZ
- US082-ZMOD4450EVZ
- US159-DA16200MEVZ (may incorporate Bluetooth at a later date)

Currently working:
Arduino (no remote data transfer yet)
- DS18B20 Temperature Sensing
- Non-invasive Tank level monitoring (replaced internal metal contact sensors - corrosion)
- Battery Voltage monitoring
Work in progress:
- GPS
- WiFi access
- Raspberry Pi (Maybe) for HDMI RV TV display, may set up for VPN connection to my home network and have the EK-RA6M4 or M5 transfer data to the Pi for transmission and I can remote access it from home.

Project progress will be available on YouTube. The project completed in 4 phases, it needs to be up and running before 10/30/2022, when I shut down the RV for winter and remote monitoring takes over.

EV charger with WiFi communications to send state of charge.

Controller for Solar cell EV charger.  Control handshaking signals to vehicle, monitor charging status, solar cell output voltage & current, use Wi-Fi to send charging status and any faults, measure and store charging history.  Connect to OBS connector to maintain log of vehicle charging history.

Great platform for IoT.

Electrochemical applications about low current and low voltage applications.

Auto leveling system for homes

Kontrola jakości i poprawa warunków wzrostu i życia roślin

Basic Home automation application with Nextion Display as HMI, after that I’ll write simple applications for each peripherals available in the board and commit in github so that others can use the code as base. Not many tutorials are available on Renesas microcontrollers, i hope it will be useful for those new to this mcu.

Use the Air Velocity sensors to measure the bloviation rate of US Politicians.

Monitoring and remote operated controller for tropical and or salt water aquariums from hobbyist level to commercial end, a affordable yet up scalable Wi-Fi and or blue tooth device , that will send push notices as well as remotely looking at parameters of the aqua environment.

I already have some experiences with Renesas RA MCUs, but I never used Quick-Connect Ecosystem, so I want to try it. I already have some kits which are offered in the list, but I still like getting some for learning new things. I checked documentation of all parts and my final decision is following: For testing parts and Quick-Connect ecosystem I want to build Cloud Air Quality Logger. For project I want to try low-power RA2E2 family of MCUs, so my choice of MCU board is FPB-RA2E2. I want to use US082-ZMOD4410EVZ for Indoor Air Quality monitoring and US082-HS3001EVZ for measuring temperature and humidity. Temperature and Humidity are needed for proper operation of ZMOD4410 if I understood SDK documentation correctly, but I want to transmit them to the cloud also. Because I have some experiences with RA16600 (combined Wi-Fi and BLE), I would like to try Renesas’s brand new RYZ014A LTE modem and try to use PMOD (RTKYZ014A0B00000BE) containing this LTE module for internet connectivity to the cloud instead of Wi-Fi + BLE module, but LTE PMOD is not mentioned in the list. If it is not possible to provide part outside list mentioned above, then I would like to receive US159-DA14531EVZ instead.

When searching for documentation of listed components I found two description mismatches. HS3001 is not Flow Sensor but it is Temperature and Humidity sensor according to Renesas website and labels of ZMOD4450 and 4510 are swapped (4450 is Refrigerator AQ and 4510 is Outdoor AQ). I recommend paying attention on this before sending kits.

Thank you for opportunity to participate in this giveaway.

Refrigerator Environmental monitoring for proper operation (temperature, humidity, airflow), and hygiene (odors) utilizing FPB-RA2E2 MCU and Wi-Fi Module, Mass Air Flow Sensor, Indoor Air Quality, Refrigerator Air Quality.

I have idea to build a HVAC air quality and energy saving monitoring system.
For the MCU selection, I will select EK-RA4M3, as I don’t need the ethernet port and I want to try with Grove series sensors soon together with PMOD daughter board.

For monitoring the air quality, mainly about CO2 level ,TVOC and IAQ for air quality when the air conditioner is not on or off, therefore I choose US082-ZMOD4410EVZ as the sensor. The sensor will monitor CO2 level ,IAQ in room to help user monitor the air quality and types of gases exist in the room.

Moreover, the humidity level and temperature also should be monitored , so I will choose US082-HS3001EVZ.

To promote energy saving practice and reducing carbon emission, I will use Grove RTC to count the time for the HVAC operation time in a day.

Along with Grove light sensor to sense the change in light in a room, and using Grove RTC to measure the time and records the time started for turning on light event in a room.

For the communication, I choose US159-DA16600EVZ, as it could have more potential to connect to device like smartphone in some further distance as bluetooth cannot travel that far in terms of distance. Furthermore, it could develop further the project by connecting to cloud via WiFi and displays the metrics in a dashboard.

Its an interesting hardware to design Air purifier system.
