IoT Controlled Lamp
Are you tired in the morning? Do you want a soft wakeup? this is the solution, i built myself a IoT-controlled lamp that i can schedule when it turns on and off. I schedule mine to light up about 10 minutes before my alarm goes off in the morning to give me a soft wakeup.
You can also use the IoT dongle for other purpose also, for your Coffemaker as example, the only limits are 250V Maximum power, 2500W, Maximum current 10A.
