A study-first Smart Home and IoT journey based on the supplied learning handbook. Learners begin with low-voltage practice, then progress through electrical distribution concepts, relays and contactors, ESP32, ESPHome, Home Assistant, networking, sensors, energy monitoring, and a resilient one-room capstone. Live-mains installation is never a learner DIY activity and must be completed under appropriately licensed supervision.
Use this overview to understand the sequence. Open each stage below for course details.
Included published courses are activated together. Your course certificates remain individual, and completing every required certified course unlocks the roadmap distinction.
Required courses build the core skill. Optional courses let you specialise.
Start with electricity, measurement, protection concepts, and low-voltage experiments only.
Learn voltage, current, resistance, power, AC/DC, live-neutral-earth concepts, multimeter basics, and safe 5–24 V projects.
Understand residential distribution, enclosures, relays, contactors, isolation, and manual override without live-mains practice.
Study isolators, MCBs, RCCBs, RCBOs, SPDs, earthing, enclosures, termination, and mains/ELV separation without energising a panel.
This sample mirrors the issued certificate. Your name, verified results, QR code, and verification ID appear only after every required course certificate is earned.
Build low-voltage control logic with relay contacts, contactor concepts, isolation, flyback protection, and manual override.
Use ESP32, ESPHome, sensors, and local logic to control dependable low-voltage loads.
Use GPIO, ADC, PWM, I2C, UART, RS-485, sensors, and ESPHome to operate low-voltage loads locally.
Connect devices, design dashboards, and build a complete low-voltage demonstration home.
Install Home Assistant and learn devices, entities, areas, scenes, scripts, dashboards, helpers, YAML, and backups.
Build an eight-channel 12/24 V demonstration house with physical switches, ESP32 control, relays, and Home Assistant.
Create useful automations while learning networking, MQTT, failure testing, and local-first control.
Combine occupancy, door, temperature, light, and water-level sensors into useful conditional automations.
Learn addressing, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, DNS, mDNS, VLAN concepts, MQTT, and failure testing so physical controls keep working locally.
Measure and visualise energy safely, then study scalable controller and panel architecture.
Study CT clamps, current, voltage, active and apparent power, power factor, kWh, calibration, and Modbus dashboards.
Understand how controllers, contactors, branch protection, energy meters, Ethernet, and physical switches fit into a scalable design.
Plan, commission, observe, and improve one resilient room before considering a larger system.
Design one room with physical controls, sensors, scenes, local fallback, monitoring, documentation, and a supervised live-mains commissioning plan.
Prepare risk checks, maintenance notes, and a scale-up decision with live-mains work reserved for an appropriately licensed electrical professional.
