Light up Life With micro:bit

Project Introduction

Why smart home gets popular in recent years? In the past, mechanical switches were used, but later they were replaced by touch panel switches. These switches don’t feel good to use, because, for instance, before going to bed at night, you have to check whether the lights are off in each room. But now when smart home devices are used, you only need to lie in bed at night and use the terminal to control the switches, sockets, electrical appliances and other equipment in every room. So next, we are going to learn how to remotely control devices through the IoT platform.
In the previous lesson, we talked about using EasyIoT to collect data. In this lesson, we mainly talk about using the IoT platform to remotely control devices.
