As a token of my appreciation, you'll be entered into a drawing for a jReCo (Jubito Remote Control) once you...
What you'll get is an
Arduino Nano,
RF Receiver + Transmitter modules, soldered, with full support and software implementation as seen in this
tutorial.
I select this project because it was my first flirt with Arduino and because everybody, or almost everybody start with controlling lights, which is a good starting point for home automation.
So, from back then, with a little bit of research, I ended up from this...
to that...
I hope to find it as amusing as I, and give you a boost of encouragement to start developing your own "things".
This "contest" will close at January 30th and the winner will be announced in this post and at the social networks.
I wish you a creative 2015, good luck!
