Project 12  'Servo Controlled Switch'

04.13.09

Is there anything more frustrating than turning a light switch on only to then turn it off again minutes maybe hours later? Well undoubtedly there is but in keeping with the style of addressing the lesser problems of life it is one that has been tackled. It takes care of that simple task of flicking light switches, and does so through the use of an Arduino.

Features:

  • No need to mess with any high voltage wiring.
  • Switch is still operable by hand.
  • Easy to make and assemble

Applications:

  • Simple light switching.
  • Can be paired with sensor to make for more complicated applications. (security lights, temperature control on ceiling fans, night lights, the possibilities are endless).
  • Wire up a switch to a socket and control anything that has a plug.
