Design and Construction of a Controlled Solid-State Relay with Variable Duty Ratio for DOMOTIC Applications

This paper proposes the design and construction of the prototype of a solid-state relay (SSR) that is controlled remotely through an interface developed in an Android application using a WIFI connection. Likewise, the prototype has a system for measuring electrical variables such as voltage, current, and power factor, whose values are also visualized in the application for monitoring the system’s load. Experimental results demonstrate the effective control of various load profiles, including resistive and resistive–inductive loads. The SSR successfully regulates the firing angle of an electronic device called TRIAC, allowing precise control over the load. Key features include a network snubber and heatsink, enhancing the durability and reliability of the system. The main contribution of this work is the integration of IoT-based remote control and monitoring with a robust SSR design, offering enhanced functionality and reliability for domotic applications. This integration facilitates improved productivity, resource management, and equipment monitoring in smart home environments, addressing the current gap in the availability of intelligent SSR solutions.
