A Better "Automatic Light" Controller

This may be one of the most ridiculus, unnecessary projects I've ever got involved with.

But sometimes when an idea takes hold, it becomes difficult to shake off.

The idea is to calculate sunset using a SINE function, and use this as the basis for controlling an outside light!

Hacking 433MHz Remote Controllers

With the introduction this week of the Energenie Pi-Mote control board, my first reaction was to reach for my credit card and place an order.

I don't know just yet what I'm going to do with it, but it seemed like a relatively cheap toy to play with.

While waiting for this starter kit to arrive, I remembered that I was given a 433MHz control kit earlier this year, but had not got around to doing anything with it.
