This is a project me and a buddy of mine our working on that will allow you to control your house with twitter from your cell phone or just your computer.

HOW IT WORKS
This uses 2 sets of codes that we created, one i python and the other one is with the Arduino, we our still in beta, but in the future we will have everything wireless and maybe have the whole house wired up. But for now its just our rooms.


What you can use it for...

Dad: MICHAEL YOUR T.V IS ON!!!

Michael: Oh.... Really check again...

Dad: Oh.. Well Never mind its off!

  • First off, you don't need Python for this at all.. it litterly has nothing to do with the Audrino or controler card it'self it's just used to parse the twitter API's.

    However, python has nice website parsing modules wich helps alot and the USB programming capability in Python is quite easy to use.

    But again, you can go with C/C++/Java/VisualBasic or anything similar witch has either USB or Serial-port functionality :)

    Anyways, cool idéa.. had the same idea but no hardware (until tomorrow :P)

  • @VE3n0m Lol umm thank you but i never said you needed python lol we just used it, we actually now use C++ cause we work with it more due to video game programming

see all

  • @zhays21 What is your instructable username? I really want to see how the code works.

  • McClover, I am very impressed by your use of Arduino and Twitter. Can you please send me all of your code so that I may see how you did this? I am very much new to arduino and would very much appreciate your help.

  • what is your instructable account? i want to see it

  • I'm sure that your cellphone carrier, wouldn't bother sending your signal to any satellites. :)
