Welcome to our site! EDAboard.com is an international Electronics Discussion Forum focused on EDA software, circuits, schematics, books, theory, papers, asic, pld, 8051, DSP, Network, RF, Analog Design, PCB, Service Manuals... and a whole lot more! To participate you need to register. Registration is free. Click here to register now.
You casn use a standard optocoupler with its diode connected to 220V through a capacitor (searchg this forum on how to connect a LED to 220V) or you can employ a very small transformer to step down voltage, which after rectification can be directly fed to a microcontroller. Both methods are safe as both ensure mains isolation.
