Arduino Controls The Lights!
Posted January 3, 2009 by Chris
This is a fairly straight forward Relay-based project. The Arduino microprocessor controls turning the lights off and on via the Relays. A simple project, but it shows you the path to starting standard home automation.

Wondering whether you can help me. I use a lot of windscreen wiper motors in my projects. I want to control them with my Arduino board using relays. can you suggest what relays I need and how to wire it up. Thanks

Hey Giles,
Sorry can’t help you on that one. I have never worked with windscreen wiper motors. My guess is generic relay switches would do the trick, but that’s only a guess!
