    Hello.

    I’ve already searched the forum and the internet, looking in DIY sections and elsewhere.
    Specifically, I’m interested in a computer-controlled switch for home (or room) lighting – something along the lines of a ‘smart home’.Such a device would control the brightness of a light bulb (a room lamp, a chandelier), switch it on/off, and adjust the mains voltage from 0 to 100% (dimming). On the forum, I found a controller, for example, for controlling RGB LEDs and similar, but no one has posted a device like the one I’m describing, unless I’m searching in the wrong place. I found a device on the forum and on Allegro for controlling relays, but it only allows you to switch the device on and off; it doesn’t allow for voltage adjustment. Is it possible to build something like this in a single device?? If so, how, and if there’s a DIY guide somewhere, that would be even better. Please help :)

    Link to the right device (99% satisfaction), but you need to buy an additional receiver

    The cost of the switch itself is around 120 zł
    The second option costs around 700 zł + software (charged separately)

    Why did you delete my post! Do you think I don’t know? Does my friend still not understand Link . You want to build a smart home but you’re having trouble understanding a simple text. I deleted the incorrectly attached files. [Łukasz]

    Programming shouldn’t be a problem – six years at school studying Pascal, C++ and a few others shouldn’t be too bad:)

    I’ve also heard about the Hall2007 system


    Manufacturer’s website:
    http://neuron.com.pl/hall2007.html

    What do you think of it??
    Has anyone had any experience with it??
    p.s.
    I’m mainly concerned about the price:) I know that for, hmm, 55,000 they’d even give me the software for free, but unfortunately I can’t afford such luxuries, and I know it could be done more cheaply:)

    A microcontroller + some extra wiring + a few actuators – and you don’t need a remote control or a computer if you just want to play around with the lighting
