When you flip the switch to ON, the controller starts on state "Heat".

Hardware used

  • Ardiuno, whatever model
  • One clothes dryer cabinet
  • One duct fan, for forced air evacuation
  • Two 240V 10A DC relays
  • Two DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors
  • One 16x2 character LCD
  • One 5VDC power supply (I ripped apart an old USB charger)
  • One on/off switch
