Smart Homes - Home Automation Control!

Now, one excellent use of the Raspberry Pi, is to turn your home into a smart home. One of the simplest projects that can be done in this field is turning on and off sockets. This can be done either with a wireless set of sockets and modifying the remote for them, or with a relay. Like this.


That way, you can control lights and similar objects. I however, decided to start somewhere a little more adventurous; with motorized curtains. This is a bit more tricky than sockets, but I had all the parts I needed already.

In the next post, I'll go through how I made a fancy web front end and how I put it all together.
