Part Number: Reference Design - Smart Plug with Proximetry Cloud

SMART PLUG WITH PROXIMETRY CLOUD REFERENCE DESIGN


Overview


The Smart Plug is a reference design targeting any secure Internet of Things (IoT) design. It contains all the core functionality required for a secure Internet-connected product. The Smart Plug is a Wi-Fi-enabled power plug that can be controlled in three ways: locally using the capacitive touch button, using a mobile App with Wi-Fi connection (with or without cloud), or using on/off timing scheduled via a mobile App. The design is based on the SmartConnect ATSAMW25 module, as well as an ECC508A crypto device, to realize ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller (MCU) processing, Wi-Fi connection, CryptoAuthentication? with ultra-secure hardware-based key storage and QTouch capacitive touch buttons. It also features the ATM90E26 device, which is a sensor for energy metering functions. Three models are available: US, EU and Chinese standards.

This design targets an Cloud (by Proximetry) version, which allows control of the unit through a mobile app and through the Cloud. Two other firmware variants are available: One with cloud integration for the Chinese market using the JD Smart Cloud solution, and one cloudless version, which allows control of the unit through a local Wi-Fi network. Note that all hardware options supports all versions of the firmware.
