Hello all, awesome forum,
My mailbox is about 300 Feet from my front door, and last year I got some battery powered Christmas lights for it. It's a huge pain at the end of the night to walk out there, especially when all the other lights have on an indoor switch or 2. Anyway, I'd like to make a remote switch and I am thinking an XBee would do the trick, with maybe a relay and a lantern battery on the mailbox side so it lasts the whole season(LED Lights). Am I correct in assuming the Xbee would do the Job? I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of models there are, but it seems like a easy and useful project. Any ideas would be appreciated on what to buy, thank you..
