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
