OneConnect

OneConnect is an IoT-based control and monitoring application developed for a client to manage their electrical infrastructure remotely. We built a system that connects to Vacuum Circuit Breaker panels through a Raspberry Pi controller, monitors shutter automation based on door movement using ultrasonic distance sensors, and tracks circuit breaker life using AI-powered edge analytics — all accessible from a single unified platform.

What We Built

📌 VCB panel control interface connected to Raspberry Pi controller

📌 Real-time shutter automation monitoring based on door movement detection

📌 Ultrasonic distance sensor integration for precise movement tracking

📌 Circuit breaker life tracking with continuous usage cycle monitoring

📌 AI-powered edge analytics for breaker failure prediction and maintenance scheduling

📌 Real-time alerts for abnormal breaker activity and sensor anomalies

📌 Operation logs capturing breaker trips, shutter movements, and control commands

📌 Unified dashboard to control and monitor all connected hardware in one place

📌 Edge computing setup for low latency processing and offline reliability

📌 Automated maintenance insights based on breaker health and usage patterns

How it works

OneConnect communicates with the Raspberry Pi controller to send and receive commands to the Vacuum Circuit Breaker panel. The ultrasonic distance sensor monitors door movement and triggers shutter automation accordingly. Breaker usage data is processed through edge analytics to predict lifespan and schedule preventive maintenance — all visible from the OneConnect app.
