<p >I've been feeling kind of lazy lately and sometimes not wanting to get out of bed at night and walk the whole 10 ft. to my light switch to turn it off. I decided a good way to fix this GIGANTIC problem (brought about by my own laziness) way to make a remote control switch to control my lights from my bed. It is a very basic circuit consisting mainly of my arduino, a relay, an IR reader, and a button, which in all, works surprisingly well.</p>
