Imagine being able to communicate with any device from anywhere in the world. You can control your TV, lights, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine — anything you want — just for a few bucks.

You can do it with Arduino. I have a lot of these lying around in my room, ready to automate another device of mine.

In one of my previous articles, I covered how you can use Arduino as a switch to turn any device on or off.

Today, I will discuss the pros and cons of various wireless methods used to create communication between Arduino and smartphones. This would not only allow you to use your phone as a switch, but it would also enable it to send specific commands for operations and get the state from Arduino.
