Use case: Christmas village powered by AA and AAA batteries.
Question: is there any way to automate these items? The only way I can think of a method to do this would be to modify where each items switch is located and wiring in a remote of some sort. But I’m just trying to find a less invasive method if possible, but I’m not holding out a bunch of hope…
Do you mean regular ON/OFF? If so, I’ve already written about something similar… https://reddit.com/r/IOT/comments/17zaapw/easiest_way_to_control_batterypowered_christmas/ka16uej/
However, when it comes to controlling their functions… would need to know exactly what equipment it is and how it works in order to advise.
