Simple project to switch lights on/off with a servo (for fun)
Description
This is a two night project to allow a little linux board to control the lights of the home. It does it by flapping a switch with a servo going from a position to another.
Simple control is done on the serial line. Exemple with python:
import serial s = serial.Serial('/dev/serial/device', baudrate=9600) s.write(b't') # toggle switch
In doc directory, there is example of a daemon to turn light on and off from a jolla phone (a simple python script easily adaptable: 3 lines). The daemon can also turn on light in the good time range by just detecting the phone mac address requesting an address on the dhcp local server. This possibility is only available if the dhcp server is on the same device as where the usb servo switch is plugged into.
