This video shows an experiment using the Raspberry Pi.
By adding an Extension Board called PiFace to the GPIO header pins on the Raspberry Pi we was able to switch a 500w Tungsten Halogen light fitting on and off with the Software designed to be used in conjunction with the PiFace Extension Board. We then Installed tightVNCveiwer which allowed us to remotely connect to the Raspberry Pi and was able to switch the light on and off via a Smartphone.
