Dimmer sensor

[korttoma]

All the dimmer examples does is to change the level on an PWM output according to a 0-100% dimmer slider in the controller. What you connect to the PWM output is up to you. In the example sensor device I posted I have connected a transistor that controls the speed of a 12VDC fan.

I have also maid another sensor that shows as a dimmer in the controller but in the arduino it controls 3 relays instead ( there are not so many rules you have to follow here you can create what you need, that's the beauty of MySensors ).

Dimming AC current is far more complex than dimming DC from the hardware perpective.
Do a search on the internet about it and come back with a solution that fits your needs.

This circuit might help with what you are doing. See attached. Try building this circuit and connect "signal & ground" to dimmer LED actuator PWM. Again I can't stress enough be careful with AC power!!!
