IoT controlled Light Dimmer/Motor Speed Controller

This project uses the Particle Photon to control the Phase Angle of a mains operated (115-240VAC) appliance. In addition to an onboard potentiometer to control the phase angle, one can use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for remotely controlling the device. the I2C pins as well as analog and digital pins have been broken out as well, so one can use these pins for sensors, actuators and displays for a device that can do much more. This board is completely self powered. So all you need to do is plug it in and hook up the appliance you're trying to control to the mains terminals onboard and you're all set.
