Hello all,
I'm looking for some advice as I'm a programmer and not 100% sure about my electronic skills.
I've been messing around with some Arduino stuff and controlling things remotely, but this has been on a small scale. I've created a control system to remotely control outputs via a web interface.
All I have left to do is to research how I'm going to implement it into wall light switches. I've never played with anything bigger than 12v so I'd appreciate any advice on where I can learn how to utilize the mains power to keep some small circuitry powered. I assume using some sort of switch or voltage regulator will handle this? I'd also like advice on safety, etc.
Thank you!
