How to Go Further
Let's summarize what we did in this chapter. We built a project to control a lamp (or any
other electrical device in your home) that can be controlled from anywhere. We used the
Arduino Ethernet shield to connect the project to the web, and the Teleduino service so you
can simply control your project from a web browser. Because the Teleduino service works
wherever you are in the world, this lamp can now be controlled from anywhere.
There are of course many ways to improve this project. Of course, you can plug more than
one relay module to the project, allowing you to control many different electrical devices at
once. For example, you can connect many lamps to the project, along with other electrical
appliance like water heaters or coffee machines.
You can also read data using this project. Using this function of Teleduino, you can read
from sensors remotely. For example, you can imagine inserting a current sensor into the pro-
ject, to be able to follow the energy consumption of your lamp remotely. To get more details
on how to do so, I invite you to read the Teleduino API documentation on their website:
