Esp8266 + step motor + battery seems to be the the most economical option I’ve seen.

Hi. I have an in-ground pool with 2 motors, one for the filter and one for the robotic vacuum and I am looking for a way to make them "smart" to control turning them on/off from my phone.

Have a couple of fluorescent tube lights in my bathroom that I was hoping to use a smart switch to automate, but I got a tip that they don’t work well together and have even caused them to burnout quickly.
