Radio Controlled outlet strip
Our project is a remotely controlled outlet strip, to create simple light shows. It was built with two microcontrollers on their own circuit boards, communicating over a 433MHz radio channel. The receiver uses relays to switch the outlets on and off, as the user desires. The relays we chose can only handle 2A each, but that's plenty for decorative and most desk or floor lamps.
