How to link my light bulbs to my iPhone so I can control them?
I'm designing a project, here is what I need to know how to do. I have a set of three light bulbs, and I need to create a way that I can choose which bulbs light p and which do not. The phone can't be wired to the lights, and it is recommended that we use Bluetooth technology to communicate from our phones to our projects.
I don't even know where to start. Seems I have 3 main challenges here,
1) Making the hardware that will respond to my commands and control the lights.
2) Making an app that will control the hardware.
3) Finding out how to get the phone and the device to communicate.
I'm looking for someone who can help me solve these challenges, or a good web forum where I can get guidance on my project. If you know how to do this or a forum that would help me, please leave a response! Thank you!
Added (1). Thanks for the tip, But I'm looking for something a little bit more in depth, such as what hardware would I need to buy for my lights to that they could receive the Bluetooth signal?
I think you would need to make use of the Bluetooth signal.
- Light control apps for iphone? I was wondering if there were any iphone apps available that can control your lights, tv etc and to use them you DON't need to buy some sort off device to go with it. Maybe the app could use the model numbers of things or something:/
- If I download songs to my IPhone and uninstall them, do I have to buy them again? The problem is I bought some songs but now I want to delete them so I can put some fresh new songs but I still want the songs for my IPod. So if I delete them from my IPhone, will I have to buy them again? More information will be added if needed, thanks in advance, hope I explained it right.
- How light is the iphone 5? Is it too light? Some people are complaining that the iphone 5 is too light. But how is that a bad thing? And how light is the phone? Is it a good phone?
- Does the Sony alpha a5000 mirror the photos or videos after you take them like the iPhone front camera does like make them flip left? I bought a canon powershot sx530 and it mirrors my face (flips it the opposite direction) when I take photos and videos so everything comes out weird and I'm trying to start YouTube but the only problem is the camera.
