December is finally here and we can start thinking about indoor or outdoor decorations for the holiday. Christmas lights are an excellent way to light up any event and a user on instructables wanted to be able to control the lights remotely with text messages.

Check his 12-step tutorial  and take a look at the bill of materials:

  • An Arduino Yún – You could use another Arduino with a Wifi Shield though.
  • A Protoshield with (or without) a tiny breadboard
  • A regular breadboard will work as well, but will be less compact.
    If you want to solder more, you can just use a small circuit board instead.
  • A 5V relay
  • A piezo buzzer
  • Wires
  • A battery operated Christmas decoration (It’s not even Thanksgiving, so I’m using a Halloween decoration)
  • A Temboo account
  • A Twilio account
