Connecting Servos Wirelessly

Projects General Guidance
1

I am wanting to make my room automated, so I would like to use servos to turn on light switches (I know that is over-engineered). But I would only like to use one arduino board if possible. What I would like to do is make my light turn on if there is less light and turn off when there is more light. So is there any way to connect the servo wirelessly, so the arduino is on one side of the room collecting data from sensors, and the light turns on when it reaches a certain threshold and turns off if it goes below it. I have a Nano Every and an Uno R3. Thanks!

Yes! Put together a schematic as to how you propose to wire this. Show links to all hardware items. If you want a good CAD program KiCad is free for the downloading.

Hello thevulturesarecoming

Welcome to the worldbest Arduino forum ever.

Take a search engine of your choice and ask the WWW for ' servos to turn on light switches' to collect some data to be sorted out to get the needed information.

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

Have one Arduino as the wireless (RF) sender and another one as the receiver. Check the store or web for Arduinos with built-i wireless capabilities or for cheap wireless extensions.

I'd go for cheap IR remote control inside a room. Get a TV control and receiver set for a few bucks and any Arduino for the receiver.

But I would only like to use one arduino board if possible.

thevulturesarecoming, IMO using a solid-state relay to switch the 110Vac Light
on would simplify using only one Arduino.

one end would be an Arduino with a Bluetooth unit like a HC-05.

the other end would be a 5Vdc power supply , solid-state relay, and a HC-05

The HC-05 has a pin called state that changes when connected, that pin could
be used to trigger the solid-state relay.

when the Bluetooth units are connected the lights turn on, when not they are off.

Sounds like a Mickey-Mouse solution.

You could replace your existing switches with smart switches.
