I just installed a motorised roller blind in my house which is controlled by a RF (433.92mhz) remote, it occurred to me that it would quite nice to have the blind close when light level falls below a certain level, and have it open when light gets above a set level, so in effect close at dusk and open at dawn. So I then thought that maybe I could use a picaxe 08m2 with a LDR to detect the light level and some kind of RF transmitter, my first thought was to buy a learning RF remote and jerry-rig it to the picaxe but I then saw the RFA001 kit and the AXE213 kit - however I am not sure how I would learn the included remote to the picaxe or even if that is feasible? Has anyone done anything similar? I'd be interested to hear if any similar projects or any thoughts on the idea, thanks!
