I’m working on a project to automate our chicken coop (see my article Getting over myself and doing things the easy way<\/a> for more details on the project). Right now, the lights open and close by themselves: it needed to be done now since the chickens had trouble laying eggs with our short Fall days. The current system uses an Arduino Uno, a real-time clock module with the DS1307 chip and an analog dimmer. You can see the code for this version on GitHub : I’m working on the second phase: being able to change the schedule directly from our phones and gather weather data from inside and outside the coop. My plan is to use the Arduino I already have to gather data and control the dimmer, and add a ESP8266 chip to connect this system to our home network.<\/p>\n
