To go from phone to Arduino, you could use Blue Tooth, wifi shield, or Ethernet shield with Cat 5 cable.You can connect a Max232 chip to Arduino to get RS232 output.
The Arduino can most likely do what you need with time to spare. We need more specifics to give more specific information.
origianlly the remotre dimmer can be controlled by a remote control(it transmits signal through zigbee),
the remote control need to link up with a remote dimmer before using a sort of functions.
it can set on/off and also the brightness of the light
now i want the android apps replace the functions of remote control.
if i need to do so, i suppose to use a set of devices (android phone >> arduino board as a platform to transmit the signal from wifi to RS-232 and send out to a RS-232 wireless controller>> remote dimmer
so how could i solve this problem?
or wt information you need to know abt this project?
