Remote Mains Switch with >100m range

I wanted the capability to switch a flood light fitted outside the garage from the Raspberry Pi. With the Raspberry Pi connected to the internet this would give me the ability to remotely switch this light on from anywhere in the world. I had a look at wi-fi enabled power sockets but none of them had the range I was looking for. This project shows how to use the Dual Remote Relay Tx & Rx to do this as this has a range well in excess of 100 metres.

Remote Controlled Dual Relays using FM Radio Modules

Remote control of pumps, heaters, lights and other appliances is often a requirement in Home Automation, Building Control or Automation of Industrial Control processes. Traditional radio modules can often disappoint by having poor range or being prone to interference. FM Radio Modules when compared to much cheaper AM modules gives superior performance in both these areas. This post is about a remote module that has two independent relays for remote switching ON and OFF of appliances.
