  • A3: Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the live and ground pins. If the reading is the same as between live and neutral, the outlet is properly grounded.

Example Code for Arduino UNO

If you are using the OMNI AIRCON Outlet in a project with an Arduino UNO, you might want to control the power supply to a device. Below is an example code to control a relay module connected to the outlet:

// Define the pin for the relay module
const int relayPin = 7;

void setup() {
  // Initialize the relay pin as an output
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
  // Start with the relay off
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
}

void loop() {
  // Turn the relay on (connects the outlet)
  digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
  delay(5000); // Keep the relay on for 5 seconds

  // Turn the relay off (disconnects the outlet)
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
  delay(5000); // Keep the relay off for 5 seconds
}

This code will toggle the relay every 5 seconds, effectively controlling the power supply to the device connected to the OMNI AIRCON Outlet.


By following this documentation, users can effectively utilize the OMNI AIRCON Outlet in their electrical systems, ensuring safe and reliable power delivery to their devices.
