Possible to control a light switch?

Postby johnt365 » Tue Oct 06, 2015 10:18 pm

Hi all,

I am curious if anyone has found a way to control a residential light switch using the app and an Xboard relay? I'm trying to turn the light in my garage off and on with the same controller if possible. If so, what can you tell about any parts or materials needed and how you modified the sketch to make it work.

Thanks for looking.

John

My light switch is facing the garage doors. So I bought and installed one of those motion sensor switches at Home Depot and it has been working perfectly. Whenever the garage doors open, the lights turn on automatically. And I can manually turn on and off the lights from the switch too.
