What needs to be done in the near future:

1.  Create method of turning on and off light switch and dimmer using 2 servos
2.  Design wiring (should be simple)
3.  Create arduino program to control servo speed and positioning 
4.  Attach XBee shield
5.  Create wifi interface / program

     Parts needed to do this:

• • Dimmer switch
  • Light switch
  • 2x Servo motors
    • Will have to make device to allow servo to interact with switches
  • Breadboard
  • Wires
  • Arduino
  • Xbee Shield
