TN4CE8 is the Triac Version of its sister module RN4CE8. Comprised of 4 Triacs with optoisolation and ESP8266 wifi engine makes the ideal combination for controlling AC related devices. The TN4CE8 ships with pre-flashed firmware which consist of WebUI, HTTP Server, MQTT Client, WebSocket Server Amazon Alexa support. TN4CE8 will ease all the trouble of creating a full-featured application.
If needed, instead of using already flashed firmware, custom made firmware can also be programmed.

- Via a MQTT Host/Broker
- The unit will be serving as a MQTT client
- MQTT settings can be set at the settings page of the web UI
- MQTT Status : Can enable or disable MQTT Mode
- MQTT Broker Host : IP address of the MQTT broker . Can be local or public. But if the host is public ,it may be needed to add a NAT (Network Adrress Translation) at the router depending on your scenario.
- MQTT Broker Port  : The port that is goint to be used for MQTT communication , check with your MQTT Broker
- MQTT Client ID:Â Unique id for the client to be connected to the MQTT Broker
- MQTT Username / Password : These are for the client to be authenticated at the MQTT Broker
- MQTT Heartbeat Interval : MQTT keepalive time ,which the client commits by sending regular PING Request messages to the broker
Applications
- Home Automation
- Industrial IOT Applications
- Lighting Controls
