Hi guys,
I’m planning to control my garden shed / garden lights from the shed (the lights are connected to a regular 230V plug within the shed). My initial plan was to use DECT (Fritzdect 200), but due to the range from the house (the shed is on the other side of the garden) it’s not working reliably. The same problem arises using 433 MHz from my Arduino connected to my Pi (I’m using these two options within the rest of the house successfully).
So currently I’m thinking about using a directed Wifi connection from the house to the shed (pimping a Fritzbox with https://frixtender.de/shop/frixtender-produkte/frixtender-p-hirose-spezial). Is there a “smart plug” that can easily be included in Pimatic (preferably available from Amazon Germany) and uses Wifi instead of RF or DECT?
Plan B would be another Pi within the shed to send 433 MHz RF to our classic beloved plugs…
