I am probably being picky but as a programmer you do all this really cool stuff with the electronics that I don't understand but you didn't set the two buttons to move the servo along a set value? or you could cap the servo values at the end of the switch? idk seems a little bit unpolished from the programming side.
sir ,may i copy your framework and module of this sir 😣😢 im making a thesis of wireless interactive disaster alarm in our school and how much will it cost , im happy to know your work.
Can I buy one of these from you? I've been looking for something like this and it just doesn't exist, all the remote controlled light switches out there are wi-fi connected smart switches and I don't want that
Yes, you could use a relay to bypass the switch. There are other tutorials on UA-cam showing how to do this, but be careful, messing with house AC wiring is not recommended except but trained electricians. If you aren't sure of the dangers then I don't think it is a modification you should pursue, there are smart home devices that will enable similiar functionality through your phone and are much safer
Like Jeremy said with the gap you can turn the light switch on and off manually. I should clarify that the .stl files are not mine, I merely created the circuit and bluetooth link. Links and credit in the video description
question for you... i want to pair my phone to a bluetooth module with a security PIN and once connection is established, turn on an LED and keep it on while paired; then shut the LED off when unpaired. How do i go about doing this? Thanks!
well you have to make an arduino programm that turn on the LED when it receves a certain keyword and to turn off when it receves another one. Than you have to make the app it is probably the simplest to make it on the MIT app inventor 2 (there are a lot of tutorial out there to help you do that). The app should send the first signal by its self when paired and before disconnected send the second one.
Admittedly not as long as I would like. I don't have an exact battery life measurement, sorry. Ideally this design could be adapted to use power from the mains instead of a battery, but at that point you may as well just use a relay and imbed the whole system in the wall.
Just curious, might be wrong, but since you are already there at the switch. Could you tap off the AC and use a AC to DC 5v transformer. something like this www.aliexpress.com/item/5PCS-AC-DC-5V-700mA-3-5W-Power-Supply-Buck-Converter-Step-Down-Module-for-Arduino/32742331285.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.NMFtac or just pull apart a phone charger. Then batteries aren't an issue.

Not all heroes wear capes my friend. Awesome vid, it's helpful for my own home projects.
Definitely what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for the instructions!
Good work Will!

Very nice. Enjoy your optimized laziness!

I think if use programable schedule it be more efficient
How far distance can this receiver be used?
Nicely done!
Where did you buy everything? Especially the clamps. Great video btw !!

Look for a product called Switchmate
i was searching for this product but i dont have any of those materials and i dont know where to get them can u please help me
Nice
I'm planing to making this for myself ...how long does the battery last approx.
i'm wondering the same thing, because (i think) the battery would have to run at all times to sense the bluetooth signal
Cool project
Is there a way to completely bypass the switches itself, and control the current that goes to the light?
Yes, you could use a relay to bypass the switch. There are other tutorials on UA-cam showing how to do this, but be careful, messing with house AC wiring is not recommended except but trained electricians. If you aren't sure of the dangers then I don't think it is a modification you should pursue, there are smart home devices that will enable similiar functionality through your phone and are much safer
Id love to buy one from you.
Why did you make the servo arm with extra space around the switch? You could reduce the travel time imho
I think the idea was to allow it to be actuated normally in a neutral position.
Like Jeremy said with the gap you can turn the light switch on and off manually. I should clarify that the .stl files are not mine, I merely created the circuit and bluetooth link. Links and credit in the video description
What's the ic used ?
I have done this in a similar manner but my servo is not powerful enough to flip the switch. Any suggestions?
Regear or buy a more powerful servo?

Wow
its not laziness
how about the battery life?
Admittedly not as long as I would like. I don't have an exact battery life measurement, sorry. Ideally this design could be adapted to use power from the mains instead of a battery, but at that point you may as well just use a relay and imbed the whole system in the wall.
yeah that's what I thought. have you heard switchmate? it has the same principle as you and they claimed the battery can last a year.
Just curious, might be wrong, but since you are already there at the switch. Could you tap off the AC and use a AC to DC 5v transformer.

haha, niceee :)
This is not for any body
Yeah it's good to be lazy.
Lol why dont use relay... instead of using servo to switch off the light🤣
Nice

You can use bluetooth module to controll a relay to achieve the same thing
Nice
