Title hopefully says it all, but I'd like to be able to use my android phone's network to control a motor connected to my wifi network at home. Does anyone have any ideas how to start this?
Found something similar to what I'd like to try on youtube, but looks like I'd have to be on the wifi network and cant control via my phone's network: Controlling DC motor via mobile phone wifi controller - YouTube. I'd like to use the arduino platform too...

Buy an Arduino, a motor shield, and a Wifi shield (make sure the Wifi and motor shields are stackable). Write a web server for the Wifi shield to serve up a page with motor control options, and when certain HTTP requests are made from a client (such as the web browser on your Android phone), send the appropriate commands to the motor shield.
