I have been having this itch to work on a home automation project for a long time. And finally the day has come to scratch the itch. I have been putting off this idea for a while and it is high time I did something about it. So as a first step I at least wanted to get the basic electronic components. Perhaps staring them long enough would finally motivate me to do the project. I wanted to start off on a very simple setup. Basically, get a proximity sensor to detect if there are people in the room, talk to a light sensor and see if we need to turn on the lights, talk to a temperature sensor to see if we need to turn on the fan and do the necessary based on the sensors' response. To interface with these sensors I wanted to use an arduino board, which I have been wanting for a while now. The list comes down to Arduino board Proximity, light and temperature sensors Relays to turn on/off lights and fans I searched for the stuff online and found these 2 online stores (in In...
