Smart Homes

What it does

Wirelessly control lights from a website, schedule when it turns on or off

How we built it

Javascript front end, two Arduino Unos and an Arduino Uno WiFi, a relay, and rf transmitters and receivers. Signal from front end is sent to the Arduino Uno WiFi that then sends a signal through the rf transmitter to the rf receiver that then will turn a light on or off. This process can be scheduled or triggered manually through a site.

Challenges we ran into

Each hardware part took some time to work out individually (relay, rf transmitter, rf receiver), as well as connecting the Arduino Uno WiFi to a website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Turning a light on and off.

What we learned

How to work with rf transmitters, relays, Arduino Uno and Arduino Uno WiFi. How to dynamically create a webpage with pure javascript

What's next for Smart Plug

We try to make a smaller version that can clip on to light switches
