This is a wifi relay that can be found for as low as $5. I have had a few of these up and running for a little while now and they are working great. They can even support instant status updates (notify SmartThings on state change) when the switch is toggled by pressing the button, and are really quite simple to setup.
My life consists of many things (father, husband, System Engineer, church goer, etc.) but I often find it’s spare time filled with project after project. There is little in life more fulfilling than taking a project from beginning to end and witnessing the fruits of it’s completion. This blog is meant to document those projects, and share with others, the knowledge gained along the way. Hopefully there will be many others out there that will be educated, enlightened, and find entertainment in the things written here.
As a System Engineer and lover of technology, most of my projects fall into that sphere. Most of them are “Smart Home” related, but there may occasionally be some deviation. If you stumble upon this site, I hope you enjoy what you find here and please leave comments if your heart desires.
