Light on and off , between Cayenne app and momentary switch, for home automation by arduino

Here are some projects to get you started:

Motion detection lights for my garage

Warning!! High voltage is being used, I know little about electrical work so I urge you make sure that you double check and don’t use this as a manual. ##About This I work evenings and have to stumble trough a garage on my way in to the house. Got tired of almost falling over using my phone for light. ##What’s Connected I hooked my Raspberry pi 3 with up a motion sensor (HC-SR501) and a relay to turn on and off a light. From the motion sensor before the signal is going back to the raspber…

Light door and kettle switch

About This Project [ - YouTube] When I return to my home I make ever a cup of tea, And when I go to my home I do not see the key of my door, because there isn’t light. I’m really determined to remedy the situation! I will use a Raspberry Pi Zero, connected to the internet, and a Cayenne app for Smartphone an Tablet. I will connect the Raspberry Pi to the relay shield, and to the PIR sensor. When the PIR sensor read the presence of a person out of my door, Cayenne s…

Lighting control

About This Project Over a number of years, I have been tinkering with my raspberry pi on and off not relay crating anything that had any real-world application. But like most blokes when a problem comes along not just happy with a simple switch to turn on a light or buy a better control for the boiler, so I decided the humble raspberry pi was the way forward so for a few years I’ve been renewing all my home wiring getting it up to scratch and bringing all the lighting back to one location wit…

You can also go the route of a pre-built power strip and just send a high/low signal to it:

I have the power strip above, I’ll see if I can find some time tonight to get it working.
