Hi, I'd like to be able to remotely turn on/off my 3KW room heater ; ideally, through my router and mobile phone. Perhaps someone here can recommend a way to do this.
Also, where is the best place to find the parts? 2nd hand is fine. Thanks.
Remote Activation
Re: Remote Activation
Hi, you can use Plugwise for this: www.plugwise.nl
Get a home basic set, and control everything via your iPhone, even when out of your house.

Thanks, that looks like it will work well.

I found this set-up on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaRH2-ANH_A
It looks like it'll work but I'm not sure how the Arduino interacts with the router.
This looks like a cheaper option than the Plugwise if I can get it to work. On the other hand the Plugwise looks simple and easy!
Another thing, I'm based in the Uk and so would the Plugwise system work with a UK plug? Can I use an adapter?
Any 2nd hand Plugwise going on the forum?
Thanks in advance.
