Easy DIY Home Automation (using servo switches)

Step 4 Finished

Congrats, your switches are put together and causing the insanity that only an Arduino controlled light switch is capable of.

If you've encountered any difficulty or simply have a question to ask feel free to contact us in the comments or at [e-mail].

Finally if you've built a Servo Switch or two or put a couple purchased ones to an interesting use send us a line ([e-mail]) we love to see what people are upto. We'll toss a photo and a link to your site up on this step.

Finally a tip of the hat as to what we're up to, we're going to put ours to use managing a fully internet connected lettuce farm (well several headed farm).

Well done!! Though it can be achieved in a cheaper way without too many things hanging off the switch.

its not hard its just silly way of doing it ever thought about looking on ebay?

How is this the hard way? Looks easy to me. The reason why he used motors is because this-> Servo < X10.

 Not hard but overkill. There are devices that Arduino cold use to control the lights that would fit inside the switch box.

this will be great for me. I live in an apartment and can't install a store bought motion sensor switch, also with this being light activated I can turn on and off the light at night without getting out of bed and disturbing my wife!

that's great. a very interesting idea. of course you could have just used an automation switch like x-10 switches or wired in a relay. It seems like you did it the hard way. Good job though :)
