I’m interested in the physical characteristics of PI controlled lights

Sun Nov 18, 2018 11:42 am

I am planing on using the Pi as a controller- probably to control a relay unit that will work as a smart home style setup. I’m interested in the physical characteristics of the lights that will impact usability and durability for this application. Thanks though!

Were you stating this as a fact, or did you forget to post your question? The basic over view of controlling lights with the Raspberry Pi is using the GPIO pins. You can control the state of various GPIO pins using a programming language such as python, or scripts.
