Product

The “final” product that is complete right now is a very basic model of what I wanted to create. It has basic the basic functionality of being able to turn on and off the light from the app as well as the light turning on when it is darker in a room. I also added a dimmer on the app so that you could dim the light. There is a switch in the app to turn the photo resistor on and off. This was necessary because the dimmer was not working as well when the light was being turned on and off. In the future it would be nice to fix this problem and do away with the switch. Beyond that I wanted to be able to display when the light was on and off in the app but that is not working as I wanted. I am able to tell when the light is on and off in the actual app code but the display is not updating right now. It would also be nice to be able to incorporate a motion sensor with the photo resistor so that the light could turn off when there is no one in the room. Finally I think an device like this could be used to help conserve energy by notifying the user when the lights have been on for too long.
