Raspberry Pi project using python flask webserver to allow web-based control of christmas lights
I built this project to lazily control our christmas tree lights using a PowerSwitch Tail II and a Raspberry Pi. A simple python script and flask based webserver are used to build a webpage which includes a switch for the lights. I've also added a feature to log our toggling of the lights.
This was based around the "Weblamp" tutorial from Getting Started with Raspberry Pi by Matt Richardson and Shaun Wallace. Matt Richardson's write-up can be found here: http://mattrichardson.com/Raspberry-Pi-Flask/
I've written about this project on the following two blog posts: http://erichdonahue.blogspot.com/2014/01/2013-christmas-tree.html http://erichdonahue.blogspot.com/2015/01/2014-christmas-tree.html
