    Hello,
    please move topic as wrong section....

    I have such a question, I would like to control the lighting in my house (exactly the garden, light in front of the house when I drive up, opening of the garage and some other functions). Is there any ready chip with software/application for my phone so I can control relays?

    Regards.

    Yes. IFTTT-compatible lighting control applications can be linked to the location application. If you are in a pre-programmed zone, the lighting will switch on and if you leave the zone, it will switch off. Voice control from Alexa or Google.

    Hello.
    I recommend the Zamel Supel.

    I've already bought and tested the Supel, I'll say yes, it's a nice thing, but expensive and takes up a lot of space, fitting something like that in a can is no mean feat. I am looking for something similar, but with more I/O, I am planning a star installation, so I would place the controller in the switchgear. I am mainly concerned with lighting and roller shutter control.


    best regards.

    There are, for example, cheap sonoff 4ch modules.

    Check out devices that work over wifi. Great possibilities including voice control. I use MiLight components.

    Describe in more detail the kind of control you would like to have - e.g. detection by phone location, remote control, app, voice (e.g. google assistant) and what you already have or are planning - what kind of lighting (power), gate, installation.
    What is the issue of WiFi and internet coverage where you plan to mount the modules?
    What additional features are you planning in the future - this may influence your choice.

    This could be done, for example, on Sonoff modules or similar + integration with Google Home (+ IFTTT). If you want to expand the system with further functionality it may be worth investing in Home Assistant or Domoticz.
