Control physical devices using an Arduino based home automation controller that connects to your network and lets you switch things on and off using a web browser. This episode shows the construction sequence of a controller that combines an Arduino-compatible board, Power-over-Ethernet, and relay driver shields to create a self-contained controller that can serve up its own web interface so you can click buttons in your browser to turn devices on and off.

  1. I like how you just stuck to the "how to" of the build. So many videos are off target and one gets lost. I think I could actually make a working version of this. I especially like the modular nature of it. So smart.
    One question. On the internet powered cable, did you do something special or are internet cables already powered and you are just using it as is? Thanks.

  2. This project is really equal my dream project. Pls my question here is, I do need my route to be connected to the internet to be able to used the arduino Ethernet shield??

  3. I have one question, you said you got rid of the other two pull up resistors which would then raise the total pull up resistance because you removed two of them in parallel. Is it needed to have a higer pull up resistance or is it just good practice?

  4. hello Jonathan,
    hope all is well
    , I’ve recently made this project with 2 shields (planning to add more later)
    But I have a bit of a problem, I’ve got up to the web page, I can see all the outputs 1-16 but when I press any to turn on nothing happens I see lights flickering on the board(communication) but that’s about it, and I also can’t see it on my network neither which I find odd seeing as I can bring up the webpage,
    Any suggestions? Thanks

  5. If there ever was a zombie apocalypse and i got too choose three persons with me, ill choose you, @thekingofrandom, and @cody'slab !, anyhow great videos you have gotten me really interested in this 🙂 have bought my first components now :), anyhow i fun thing would be if you created some videos on a playlists that is like "beginners tutorials" and stuff!

  6. How many 8 channel relay driver boards can you stack on the EtherTen?

  7. From where can i purchase this particular relay board that you are using in this video? Will you include them in your new Product page?

  8. Is it possible to automate things like fan, bulbs, gate, tv and music component in a miniature design with this system?

  9. Utterly brilliant, one of the best Arduino related videos I've ever seen. Even 3 years later this had me glued to it. Very informative, and jeez the way you were able to mount everything in the box, highly impressive, I know from experience that it's easier said than done. Now going to watch the rest of your videos.

  10. Hello i know this is a older video and a awesome one at that. But i was wondering What about a Light controller. I have 4 110v light bulbs in my place that are Dimmable and i also have a Dimmable light switch. How would i be able to control that using a home automation setup?

  11. Can you please do a tutorial on linking this with a MQTT server. I love this device.

  12. Hi there, I think your videos are brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

    I'd like to build something like this to control lighting in my house, I'd somehow like to dim certain lights and wondered if that was possible through this system

  13. For this project I got a few questions.
    – How much output can the device generate? Like lets say can I switch a cooker on?
    – How much power maximum can it drain? How much voltage? 220/230? is this possible? Do I need another way to build some relays?
    – How would it work with the plugs connecting to a external device?

    I know more from the code technical aspects as from the power/device technical aspect, as they always seem to skip that part on tutorials.

  14. Hi, great video. Can you explain how the RCA cables would physically connect to relay. The relays i have seen need 5V, 0V and and an input wire. The RCA only has two wires. I know i am missing something thanks

  15. I really enjoyed this video. I am a Materials Engineer and have never had a need for scalable electronic devices such as the Arduino. However, after watching this, I think I may have found a new vice. Thank you.

  16. The PCB for the relay board looks beautiful……where did you get it made? Did you make it?
