About the AutoMate PCB

AutoMate is an open source ESP32 PCB design by reubenvanka, published on GitHub. It is a 8-layer board measuring 273 × 239.8 mm, with 71 components from 22 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-DEVKITC, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the 815 and 74HC595. By type, the board carries 26 modules, 15 transformers, 11 connectors, 9 diodes, 3 ICs and 1 fuse.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

AutoMate smart-room controller product repository for firmware, hardware, and release evidence.

Auto Mate is the working product repository for a smart-room controller. The current confirmed intent is coordinated control of lighting and fans, including brightness and color-temperature control, environmental sensing, Home Assistant integration, and a local/custom web interface.

This repository contains the product foundation only. No GPIO assignments, controller model, electrical schematic, PCB, enclosure, or production safety decisions have been approved yet.

AutoMate: common questions

What microcontroller does the AutoMate use?

The AutoMate is built around the ESP32-DEVKITC, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the AutoMate PCB?

The AutoMate measures 273 × 239.8 mm, has 8 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the AutoMate?

71 components, from 22 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the AutoMate design files?

From the reubenvanka/automate repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the AutoMate design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with reubenvanka. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the AutoMate without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
