Wireless Control of Lights

Sammanfattning: Wireless control of lights is a 15HP project carried out at Uppsala University. Wireless control is used everywhere nowadays and the goal of this project is to create a prototype that can control the light intensity of an single phase lamp using wireless communication. Using this prototype, a solution of wireless control that can be applied for larger scale applications will be presented. By larger scale in this cases means more than the single lamp used for the prototype. The project uses WiFi and a server solution to communicate between the control unit and the light appliance. A small circuit was made to make it possible to control the grid voltage of 230 volt AC without damaging the microcontroller. The solution presented by this project works as intended. This solution can be modified to suit many different appliances, and not only control of lamps.
