Control LED's via text with Arduino?
I would like to create an arduino setup that can turn LED's from RED to Green (and vice versa) via TEXT from registered cellphones. How can I do this? What equipment would i need to buy? I also plan on wiring the LED's over long distances so how would I wire/program the power supply? I heard that I would need relays, but where would I get those and how would I install them?

You need something like this

But you can BUY this item, which does what you want out of the box

You need a modem compatible with your local phone system, in most of the world a GSM modem will work, you need a SIM card too.
Then you need to look for a SMS comms library for the arduino. Relays may or may not be needed.

I'm new to this, so could you further explain
"You need a modem compatible with your local phone system, in most of the world a GSM modem will work, you need a SIM card too"?
Any links to resources would be helpful as well. Thanks for responding.
