The Miniature Circuit breakers are the electrical switches that prevent damage to any electrical circuit as a result of excess current. These smart MCBs trip or close the circuits when any short circuit, heavy current, or circuit failure is detected and help the electrical equipment from getting any damage.
They are widely used in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings to prevent any kind of damage to electrical appliances or assets.
There are multiple types of MCBs that are available. We can categorize them into 3 parts – Single pole, two Pole, and 4 poles MCBs.
Now the Industry is moving towards Industry 4.0 which has a lot to deal with data and analytics and reports and all of this starts with the Internet of Things. With the technological advancements and introduction of IoT, we’ve now revolutionized the existing MCBs to make them Smart. Here are the details about the Smart MCB by SmarDen.
An Overview of the Smart MCBs:
The Smart MCBs by SmarDen are equipped with the motorized mechanism and wifi technology that helps the smart MCB to connect to the Internet and to the SmarDen cloud platform. The Smart MCBs after being connected to the Internet can be controlled from the SmarDen mobile application which is available for both ios and android devices, the user can now control and monitor the state of Wifi-MCBs sitting from any corner of the world with the help of his smartphone. With the smart mobile application, it is now easier to track the short circuits and you’ll also get the notification once the smart MCB is tripped due to any reason. Features like these make the smart MCBs a go-to product for Industry 4.0.

Features of the Smart MCB:
● Works Remotely: The device works remotely with SmarDen Mobile application and it can be controlled from anywhere in the world. The User can control all the nodes individually from anywhere.
● Scheduling: The user can schedule any individual load connected to the devices i.e. Lights, bulbs, fans, etc. to turn on/off at a specific time. Once the schedule is set the device will follow the instructions at that specific time. The user can also repeat the schedules to make it work throughout the week and at any point in time.
● Routines: The User can also create a Routine depending on the requirements. In a particular routine, the user can set multiple appliances to turn on/off at a specific time of the day. Once the routine is set the devices will attain their state at that point in time. For eg. I can create a routine to turn on the Fan and turn off the lights in my room at 9 paAM in the morning.
● Auto-off timer: The user can also set auto-off timers for a specific appliance to turn off after a particular time. For eg. I can set the auto-off timer to turn off the lights in 50 mins.
● History: The user can also check the history of any individual appliance, the history report will tell the user about the switching details of that particular appliance. In the history details, the user will get to know about the time at which the appliance is turned on/off and it will also tell “WHO” controlled the appliance. For eg. If I manually turned on the light at 9 AM, then in the history it will be updated as a manual off Action has been taken on lights at 9 AM, or if any of my family members controlled the device from the mobile app, I’ll get to know who controlled the device and at what time the action has been taken.
● Add Family Members: The prime user of the Mobile application can add multiple family members to the app so that all the members of the family have complete access to all the devices present at their home.
● Running Time: The user will also be able to check the number of running hours of all the individual devices from the mobile application.
● Voice Control: All the devices can be controlled via google assistant and Amazon Alexa and you can also add Siri shortcuts to control the devices with Siri as well.
● Scenes: The user can also create a scene to make specific adjustments to the devices and with a single tap of a button the scene will be executed. For eg. I can create a party scene in which I can turn on the TV, dim the lights, turn on the AC and turn the volume of the soundbar to 100%.
● Workflows: In the workflows, the user can create a workflow based on the sensor values. In the workflows, the user can control multiple appliances to turn on/off based on the sensor value. For eg. I can create a workflow that will turn on the AC and turn off the LED lights Automatically when the Temperature in my living room is above 26 degrees Celsius.
● Device Warranty Status: The User doesn’t need to worry about the warranty cards anymore, the warranty status of each device can be checked from the SmarDen mobile app itself.
