Foernuftig

Let's make the Ikea Foernuftig air filter a little smarter. Here is the matching completely over-engineered firmware.

prerequisite

ESP32 - Mini D1
StepDown +5V converter
Ikea Foernuftig
and a few wires

Install

first step: program the esp32

Clone this repository and open it with platformIO. Remember, the SPIFF must also be flashed. On a terminal in vscode you can do it with

pio run -t uploadfs
pio run -t upload

After that, take a look at your monitorport ...

When the output look like this, congratulation!

After the first start an access point will be opened with an unique name like

foernuftig_XXXXX

and an not so unique password

foernuftig

After that you can configure the foernuftig under the following IP-address with your favorite webbrowser

http://192.168.4.1

second step: pickup the pcb and wire up the StepDown converter and adjust them to +5V

step 1:remove the two cover screws
step 2:remove the cover plate
step 3:remove the nut
step 4:remove the two pcb screws
step 5:remove the two connectirs
step 6:remove the controller IC

step 8: connect the StepDown +5V converter to 24V and GND and adjust them to +5V

third step: wire up all the rest

signal description

• supply: +24V power supply control for the fan. high mean on and low means off
• CLK: fan control signal, PWM with 50/50 duty cycle, 100Hz means 100rpm
• FG: fan feedback signal: PWM with 50/50 duty cycle, 100Hz means 100rpm
• LED: status LED, currently not working. need resistor change
• switch pin 0..3: switch pin, cycles from 0001 to 1000. 4 stages

+24V to +5V power supply

+24V ( PCB ) -> IN+ ( StepDown converter )
GND ( PCB ) -> IN- ( StepDown converter )

and

OUT+ ( StepDown converter ) -> VCC ( ESP32 )
OUT- ( StepDown converter ) -> GND ( ESP32 )

fan control

GPIO19 ( ESP32 ) -> supply ( IC U1 )
GPIO18 ( ESP32 ) -> CLK ( IC U1 )
GPIO33 ( ESP32 ) -> FG ( IC U1 )
GPIO35 ( ESP32 ) -> LED ( IC U1 )

4 stage switch

GPIO21 ( ESP32 ) -> switch pin 0 ( PCB )
GPIO22 ( ESP32 ) -> switch pin 1 ( PCB )
GPIO32 ( ESP32 ) -> switch pin 2 ( PCB )
GPIO25 ( ESP32 ) -> switch pin 3 ( PCB )

Reminder: All pins can also be changed later via web interface.

the result:

and build in
