Because I'm lazy I'm now very fond of:
The particle photon (https://store.=
particle.io/)
But is there home wifi that's unlikely to change in the loca=
tion your project will be used? (They aren't working with WPA-Enterprise
(y=
et))
I've got a sim based one (they cost more + have ongoing costs) in the=
garage that controls some lights on a timer, monitors the temperature and =
warns me when the garden RCD is tripped.

This actually is HA related... :)
I'm=
looking for recommendations for a simple, cheap, auto-fading dimmer contro=
ller...
It can be mains or low voltage, I don't really mind either
It need=
s to continuously fade-on/fade-off a bulb for a finite & set period of
time=
& then stop
Ideally the fade speed should be adjustable
Ideally the dimmer=
brightness should be adjustable
Ideally the run-time of the fade-on/fade-o=
ff cycle should be adjustable
This is for a project I'm about to undertake=
... It's intended to be an embedded light, so it really does want to be a
sim=
ple circuit/device that can be installed, configured, & then forgotten.
I d=
o already have a few possibilities to investigate, but I'd appreciate any
p=
ointers, as its difficult to know if I've picked the best search terms...
:=
)
Anything up to about =C2=A330 -ish would be fine. I've no problem if it'=
s based on a well-known fruit based microcontroller... :)
TIA
