Re: [android-developers] Re: How can i control room lights with my android phone :)

P.s., This approach carries the added fear that someone's going to break into your network and turn your lights on and off in some obnoxious pattern.

One way is to take a microcontroller and stick an internet module on it.  The only problem with this is that honestly, if you're controlling a $5 lamp, why pay around $50+ for the microcontroller / internet shield.

But this link should give you a rough idea of the process:

This will involve some low level microcontroller programming, though, not all high level code (though I've heard Arduino is pretty newbie friendly).

Well ya i think i shud first try my hands on hooking the light to internet and then delve into doing this with mobile phone.

I can see some resource available for that still go ahead if anyone wants to share a link.

Here's one idea:

1) Install a lighting system that responds to hand claps.
2) Write an App that makes a loud hand-clap sound when you press a
button.
