DIY Home Automation: iPhone Controlled TV Lift
This hacker used the power of his iPhone to be able to control a TV lift in his home. It’s a pretty simple device (obviously it just conceals or displays his flat screen TV), but iPhone control makes everything more impressive. Especially the iPhone controlled Mazda we featured a few weeks ago. The TV lift used in the tutorial is dirt simple to control, two pins are all that’s needed to initiate up or down movement. The setup he used can be seen below and his demo video can be viewed above. For full project details and the schematic, check out the tutorial on the author’s site.
